The Creative Class is a socioeconomic class that economist and social scientist Richard Florida, a professor and head of the Martin Prosperity Institute at the Rotman School of Management at the University of Toronto, identifies as a key driving force for economic development of post-industrial cities in the United States.

Florida describes the Creative Class as comprising 40 million workers — 30 percent of the U. S. workforce — and breaks the class into two broad sections, derived from Standard Occupational Classification System codes:

In his 2002 study, Florida concluded that the Creative Class would be the leading force of growth in the economy expected to grow by over 10 million jobs in the next decade, which would now be the present day ( 2012 ) and equal almost 40 % of the current population.

Florida says that the Creative Class is a class of workers whose job is to create meaningful new forms ( 2002 ).

Another sector of the Creative Class includes positions that are knowledge intensive ; these usually require a high degree of formal education ( Florida, 2002 ).

Independence is also highly regarded among the Creative Class and expected in the workplace ( Florida, 2002 ).

Florida and other Creative Class theorists have been invited to meetings of the National Conference of Mayors and numerous economic development committees, such the Denver mayor's Task Force on Creative Spaces and Michigan governor Jennifer Granholm's Cool Cities Initiative.

In Cities and the Creative Class, Florida devotes several chapters to discussion of the three main prerequisites of creative cities ( though there are many additional qualities which distinguish creative magnets ).

As Florida demonstrates in his books, Buffalo, New Orleans and Louisville are examples of cities which have tried to attract the Creative Class but, in comparison to cities which better exemplify the " three ' T's ", have failed.

The “ Creativity Index ” is another tool that Florida uses to describe how members of the Creative Class are attracted to a city.

Florida and others have found a strong correlation between those cities and states that provide a more tolerant atmosphere toward culturally unconventional people, such as gays, artists, and musicians ( exemplified by Florida's " Gay Index " and " Bohemian Index " developed in The Rise of the Creative Class ), and the numbers of Creative Class workers that live and move there ( 2002 ).
