Is that the MSA of the CSA that has 1.9MM?

I think that's the 14 county MSA, sometimes called Mid-State.

BTW, it seems like the MSA was 13 counties last year or the year before, and several years ago it was 10.

When actor and investor  Ashton Kutcher ran on stage at the WeWork Creator Awards Thursday night, he had a message to the packed room of 800 or so entrepreneurs, creatives and audience members: Nashville's reputation as a hub for creators has gone global.

“I want to tell you who Nashville is: This year these Creator Awards are in Shanghai, we’re in Sao Paulo, we’re in London, we’re in San Francisco, we’re in Tokyo and we’re in Nashville,” Kutcher said. “When you think about those cities, you think about innovation, you think about extraordinary globally changing companies, you think about people who have massive impact on the world — you are Nashville, you are on that list.”

Did he follow it up with "you just got Punk'd!"?

As reported about a month ago, Nashville is growing faster than the national average in the Tech Sector.   Almost 3,000 new unique technology job postings were added to job boards each month in the Nashville area last year.

I have heard on multiple fronts, during the past year or so, that companies are trying to recruit more "junior" level tech talent to entice them to switch from existing jobs, that may not be IT. Again, recruiting GOOD senior level tech talent is a major struggle and retaining top talent is difficult

^Sucking all the kids with academic talent/enthusiasm out of the rest of Nashville public schools will do that to your rankings. The question is, I suppose, whether those kids would help lift up the public schools they’re zoned for or whether those schools would drag those kids down if they didn’t have the means to avoid actual public school. A fair amount of them whose parents could afford it would probably go to USN.
