NJ Business Magazine

More than 30,000 New Jersey high school graduates leave the state each year to attend college. The loss of so many highly-educated students threatens to undermine New Jersey's high-wage, information-based economy. What can the state and its colleges and universities do to stem this brain drain? This issue of New Jersey Business reveals how our institutions of higher education are implementing new programs, making room on campus and being more competitive in attracting and retaining high school seniors and keeping them in the state. Also in this issue, Managing Editor George Saliba writes our 36th Annual Top 100 Employers feature article and coordinates the listing, both of which examine how the state's employment numbers have been growing -- or not growing.

Below is a complete listing of articles you will find in the May 2008 issue.
