Still, Portland has benefited from its image as a fashionable city: According to research by Greg Schrock and Jason Jurjevich, two urban-studies scholars at Portland State, Portland has been one of the top cities attracting young, college-educated people for the past 30 years. But there might be something to the notion that Portland is a bit like the city depicted in the satirical television show Portlandia, “where young people go to retire.” Their research shows that young, college-educated folks in Portland have the highest rates of unemployment of all major metro areas in the nation, and they tend to be underemployed or working in “non-college occupations,” like food service.
