The youth researcher’s presence in urban locations predict according to Moretti's (2012) the sustainability of the engine of economic growth. We profile the salaried employment in “R&D activities ISIC 4/ United Nations respectively 72 NACE (Act 72) classification/ INS Romania), at NUTS5 level, using 2011 RPL microdata provided by INS. Applying Univariate Local Moran's, calculated in GeoDa 1.10.0.8 (Anselin 2003, 2005, 2016) reveals for Romania a pronounced clustering tendency for this division, pattern illustrated in Choropleth maps made in ARC GIS. For any competitive city, the human capital is a top priority (World Bank, 2015, p.45) as the foundation for its growth policy and to the attraction of the investors.
