RE: Yeah, everybody is moving to upstate New York, Massachusetts, Kalifornia, and Illinois looking for work.
I can’t speak for the other states, but here in NY, where I live, YES, I do see out of state applicants in the financial industry and technology ( silicon alley ).
To balance everything out, I also DO see a lot of retirees moving OUT of New York State ( only to be replaced by immigrants ).
Get out now.
The “1%” does well in Blue States. The rest of the people - not so much.
Last I knew only businesses doing anything Upstate were getting taxpayer funded bribes to do so. NYS has poured over $3 bil down that rathole. It doesn’t work.
