College grads moving to places with warm weather and hot jobs
We talk about competition from Communist China, Europe and other parts of Asia. But did you know that states compete as well for residents and for top positions in the marketplace. The topic they use most often to influence people is weather, according to news reports. College-educated people are moving from cold-weather states to warmer states en masse these days because the quality of life is perceived as so much better. Not to mention the fact that there are more jobs in these more attractive places. The state of North Dakota loses the most young people each year. Last year the state lost 28 percent of that demographic. The second least popular location is South Dakota and Iowa was next in line. West Virginia and Montana were No. 4 and No. 5, respectively. So, where are those people moving? More than anywhere else, college-educated people are moving to Nevada. The second most popular place to move is Colorado, and the third most popular state is Georgia. No. 4 and 5 are Arizona and Oregon.
