ST. LOUIS - Michigan saw the nation's most outbound migration in 2008, with 67.1 percent of interstate moves heading out, according to a migration study released Wednesday.

It marked the third straight year that Michigan, hard hit by the economy and layoffs in the auto industry, has seen the highest percentage of outbound migration.

I moved to Alabama from Michigan.

73 degrees today here in Southern Alabama.

And the political climate is nice too!

I’m forced to ride it out because of house and wife’s desire to remain half froze.

A bunch of Wolverines landed here recently (NE Mississippi). Nice folks but their football priorities are a little misunderstood.

It’s home. I’ve lived elsewhere but always come back so I gave up on leaving.

I feel the same way about the NYC-area. I’ve visited 43 states and have lived in five. Some things are more important than politics (although the taxes and gun laws keep pushing me to the brink of leaving yet again).

Moved at the end of 07 from Dearborn, MI to Louisville, KY. Best thing we ever did.

My family is here and that’s what it’s all about. Christmas was all about comparing unemployment checks but we were together as a family.

Besides Michigan is a beautiful state.

Thx for the laugh. I do need some laughs now and then as the Democrats take the country to utter and complete destruction.

It’s going to drop down to 43 here in Arizona tonight, so I know you all will be feeling sorry for us.

I lived in Saugatuck for 5 years. It is a beautiful state, but...Michigan needs to do something about who they are electing, that is the only way to turn it around. I still remember my kids making fun of Debbie Stab-n-ow! Do miss driving up to the UP in October, I was in awe at how beautiful the trees changing colors was. Probably will never see it again since my reason for being in Michigan in the first place is now my ex....

We tried to reelect a good conservative congressman with Tim Walberg. Unfortunatelt the GOP threw him overboard and withdrew campaign money because they said he was a lost cause.

He lost by 2% in a 4 way race.

I'd love to come back (especially from Seattle's dark winters)... but not until there's hope for the place.
