Another consequence of Obama's asinine version of socialism and racial politics.
Or they died from ObamaCare.................
Yes indeed. Indeed it was.
NYS lost 2 House seats after the 2010 census. WTG, ‘Rats and RINOs!
Student Loans!!! People think it costs money to have a family and raise kids! And before that it costs money to even date.
Pennsylvania is so mired in the corruption that goes with a statist mentality, along with ever-increasing taxes, that it will continue to shrink. It s an economic basket case waiting to happen.
Not sure why Mississippi surprises you, since they have the worst economy of all 50 states. They are leaving for Alabama, Louisiana and other states that have more jobs available.
Dear Lord, Vermont is STILL shrinking?
My guess is some Louisianans (sp?) are returning home, finally.
What’s really surprising to me is Wyoming. Boom economy recently... has it gone flat with the coal bust?
This isn’t aimed you, fwdude. It is aimed the editor of this fish wrap.
These eight US states have shrunk in 2016
Is this, a head line written by a fourth grade dropout?
These states lost population and didn’t shrink in size.
This is typical of fish wrap headlining from today’s so called Journalists.
is it good for the US to have increase of people every year?
just like is it good for the stock market to continually go up?
I think people are so bought into bogus thinking like growth is always good.
Growth at what cost? Shrubs, trees etc everything needs pruning, revamping at times.
Mississippi is Haley Barour And family
“...But birth rates have remained stubbornly low despite some economic pick-up in recent years, suggesting that more than just money is at play. ”
Where exactly has the economic pick-up occurred? I do see more homes being built, but the ones I stopped to look at were all using Mexican labor. So, yes, some more stuff is being built, but it isn’t American labor doing the work. (There is a nearby town with probably 30% illegals living there.)
People are not going to have children they are afraid they can’t feed. Not decent people, anyway.
Connecticut may have a decreasing population but I can assure you that the traffic hasn’t gotten any better.
CT is in its second term of a horrible Democrat guv who with the legislature has jacked up every tax imaginable.
A huge part of the problem is the infantalization of children. We have ‘children’ who are 26 years old who are still on their mommy and daddy’s health insurance paid for by the parents employer.
If a 26 year old can’t figure out how to find and pay for a major medical policy. I have had my own health insurance since I was 18. We are in serious trouble as a country.
The surprise to me was Wyoming. I bet the open spaces are too much for people.
But Mississippi was a surprise in the list.

This is white flight.
