The competition of cities is also the competition of talents，the talent dividend is the future of a city. Using the statistical yearbook data of cities with large economic scale in China，we analyzed the talent competitiveness of cities from six aspects：talent scale，talent structure，talent innovation，talent development，talent effectiveness and talent livelihood. We found that the talent competitiveness of cities is highly correlated with the level of economic development of cities. The talent competitiveness of cities with large economies shows an obvious regional concentration and the trend of “strong in the south and weak in the north”. Measures such as expanding the economic scale，upgrading the industrial level and building a good ecological environment can effectively enhance the competitiveness of urban talents.
