And the bad part is not what anyone expects: these same idiot liberals who ruined their own states will be moving to red states and screwing that up in no time.

I know a lot of illegals are leaving Louisiana.
I’m really surprised to see North Dakota on the list. They have an oil boom and the lowest unemployment rate in the country. Of course, people have been leaving North Dakota for the last 60 or 70 years. Most of them seem to come to the Twin Cities, so they’re not leaving to get to a better climate.

Companies Departing or Shifting Work Out [of California]: 193 - Nearly Four Times Last Year’s Level
I left NY in 1985 and have never regretted it .
Connecticut is soon to be on the list. We have a liberal dem taking over as governor with a filibuster proof dem Senate and House. CT is going down...
I wonder why AZ isn’t in the Top 10. I read last night that the illegal aliens are leaving AZ in droves.
Interesting that ND is on the list. We have a housing shortage here with the influx of people working the oil fields. We also have the lowest unemployment in the country.
However, we do export a lot of our college graduates to seek their fame and fortune. Also, a large number of elderly leave the state each winter for Fla., Tx or AZ.
I thought my Golden State would be first, and it’s not even on the list!
The loss of folks from Nebraska just doesn;t make sense, when there are such high unenployment rates elsewhere. here in SW Nebraska, we have an unemployment rate of 4%. It’s hard to find good workers. My company is desperately seeking welders and machine operators. The health care industry has all kinds of openings. Houses in my town sell for anywhere from $20,000 for a fixer-upper to less than $200K for a McMansion. You can get a small acerage and old farm house with out-buildings for less than $100,000. And the winters really are not that bad.
Except for Louisiana and Mississippi they’re all snowbelt. The big snowbelt exodus continues.
That stuff very dire and not reflected in an article like this one.
Parts of Kansas are beautiful, with great people. If I had to live in a landlocked midwestern state, Kansas would suit me just fine.
The area running west outside Kansas City toward Lawrence and Manhattan, with the hills and the escarpments along the river, is gorgeous especially in the late summer with all the wild sunflowers bobbing in the breeze.
Some cities and suburbs have very decent economies by comparison still, too. It must be western Kansas and the areas right at KC that are losing population.
OK where’s Michigan?
As well as how much it cost to live in a place and such things as how interesting the place is I would like to know also the places with the most pleasant weather and the safest places with the least amount of natural disasters and such.
