As a result, an even larger percentage of migrants are likely to converge on cities in pursuit of superior employment opportunities, consequently minimizing need in local markets, according to Powell.
However regional areas near cities would stay attractive locations for those who have actually been evaluated of the city and would continue to see an increase of need, she added.
