In regards to having jobs for well educated university and college students locally versus emigrating to Toronto, it seemed like some positive developments prior to the pandemic were underway. However I've always been surprised about the lack of draw and execution by the economic development board of Hamilton. Why they haven't done a better job of attracting large companies to set up shop when you have McMaster and Mohawk plus satellite universities not far away that could draw students here (Waterloo, Guelph, Western, Laurier, etc) is surprising.

McMaster graduates students in high pay sectors like health care, law, engineering and Mohawk similarly in other complimentary areas of the above. Hamilton has a great base of students that could fulfill demand but currently there's no supply, so that's rather unfortunate for the city and those students.
