Eau Claire is a nice place to raise a family, but that's not a selling point to recent college grads. Engineers in Wisconsin live in the Chippewa Valley, the Fox River Valley, Milwaukee, and Madison. That's about it.


Sorry, I think I'm missing something. Eau Claire is in the Chippewa Valley?


Yes, sorry. Eau Claire/Chippewa Falls/Menomonie are communities in that area.


Right, I know. You are saying Eau Claire is a nice place to raise a family, but that's not important to NCGs. Then you're saying most engineers are there (in addition to Fox River valley and the cities). Mostly a little older folks then I guess?

As a sidenote, what kind of firms are up there? I'm familiar with madison and milwaukee, and know some companies in the Fox River Valley, but am not real familiar with Eau Claire and the surrounding area.


Eau Claire area has Cray Inc, Intel, Jamf, and others.
