I still don't think it's misleading in the context that it was presented. The percentages of job applicants in the central cities might not be definitive proof that NY metro is a bigger market than Atlanta metro, but it is definitive proof that there are more job applicants to roles in NYC than there are to roles in the city of Atlanta. So if you're interested in knowing specifically about jobs in the central city then this is good information.
