Nashville: A Top 10 City For Creatives
Another week, another top 10 list for Nashville. According to SmartAsset, Nashville's the No. 9 city nationally for "creatives." The personal finance tech company totaled the number of people in 28 creative jobs for each metro area, using Bureau of Labor Statistics data. Those jobs include photographers, dancers, musicians, actors, architects and so on, and presumably help make an area more interesting for other people, especially educated Millennials.
Then SmartAsset calculated the concentration of people in creative jobs, that is, the number of creatives per 10,000 in each metro. With a cost of living that’s 94% of the national average and 87 creatives per 10,000, Nashville can be a great place to pursue a career in a creative field, SmartAsset notes. New Orleans topped the list, which also included Lincoln, NE, Salt Lake City and Austin. [SmartAsset]
