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.
We're just like the toronto maple leafs - raise a nursery of good players and as soon as you see an opportunity sell them off to other teams lol..
