Kansas exporting its college graduates to other states

From 2010 to 2014, Flanders said, the percentage of Kansas college graduates who are employed in Kansas within one year of completion has remained relatively flat, while the number who remain employed here five years after graduation has been declining.
And that is true for all types of post-secondary graduates, whether they earn certificates at a technical college, an associate's degree at a community college, or a four-year bachelor's degree from one of the six Regents universities.
But those earning bachelor's and graduate degrees are the most likely to leave the state, Flanders said.
