Hamilton and University Graduates

Here's an interesting article from the NYT on Dayton Ohio and the percentage of residents with university degrees. I would be curious to see the statistics for Hamilton. The number of McMaster graduates that stick around has always been a problem for Hamilton, mainly due to a lack of suitable jobs in my opinion.

Are things getting better for Hamilton in this regard? Maybe. One related issue is that the value of a university degree has been watered down, so the measure isn't as valuable as it once was and community college diplomas have become more valuable relatively. Still the city lacks large private sector employers that employ large numbers of university graduates and probably won't any time soon.
