I'm guessing NYC is at the top simply because it hosts the greatest number of opportunities. it's the rest of the list that's telling. the article also points out that the age 30-40 cohort represents the greatest portion of searches, which could indicate a natural course of settling down with family etc.

[which further proves to me that suburbs are not dead. it's merely been the vocal majority (millennials) blabbering on about big city living and how they'll never do this or that, only to hit the family creation stage in life and realize they were naive to think in such extreme absolutes]

I don't think this is a millenial problem, this is true of the young adult population in every generation. One trend I've noticed is that those who grow up in suburbs tend to prefer cities in their 20s, and those who grew up in cities tend to prefer urbanized suburbs.
