<p>To keep them satisfied, it all comes down to company culture. </p>
<p>CareerBliss recently identified the top cities with the happiest young workers <a href="http://www.careerbliss.com/press-releases/top-20-happiest-u-s-cities-for-young-professionals/">based on thousands of employee reviews and ratings.</a> The "Bliss" scores were determined by factors including "<span>work-life balance, compensation, company culture, overall work environment, company reputation, relationships with managers and co-workers, opportunities for growth, job resources, daily tasks, and job autonomy."</span></p>
<p><span><span>“It is vital for employers and young professionals to understand what factors impact their happiness so the [young professionals] can feel empowered and know where to take their next career step or the employer can start to change their culture to create happiness," said<span> </span><a href="http://www.careerbliss.com/press-releases/top-20-happiest-u-s-cities-for-young-professionals/">Heidi Golledge, co-founder of CareerBliss</a>.</span></span></p>
<p>What this means is that in order to attract — and retain — the most talented young workers from the outside, companies need to first start working on their culture from the inside. </p>

<p>Although it's hard to predict what the future will hold, we've come up with a list of <strong>15 cities that we think will be hot in 20 years</strong>.</p>
<p>To compile this list we looked at job growth, population growth and demographics, affordability, livability, and the health and well being of the residents.</p>
<p>We also considered how the city is innovating in terms of technology, sustainability, culture, and more. And we thought about how "cool" the city is--an important factor in attracting the young, creative types who will make the city hot.</p>
<p>We looked at how the next generation will influence the city--whether they're hipsters, tech-savvy pros, artists, or environmentalists. The cities that made this list vary greatly, but they all have one thing in common: great people and great ideas.</p>
