Abstract

In recent years, Wisconsin has experienced a net outflow of college graduates. This net outflow is expected to create future economic issues for the state. Wisconsin must find a way to retain this skilled labor outflow. This research specifically looks at and measures how an area's food scene might play a role in retaining college graduates. The cities that are specifically measured in this research are Eau Claire, La Crosse, and Madison.
