    1. Also remember…most Americans have never left the US (outside of a cruise/all-inclusive). They are one of the most isolated countries in the world, and most Americans don’t actually know shit about fuck when it comes to anything outside their borders and media.

      Too bad that WV doesn’t have more to offer bc it’s such a beautiful state.

      Seeing my home state of Vermont, I 100% believe that 55% number. Its became a state of upper and lower income with the middle being squeezed out. There simply isn’t enough high paying jobs for the cost of living in the area, but there is a lot of subsidy’s which if you make middle income you won’t qualify for. For me personally the best possible employers before I left were nuharbor and the UVMHN, nuuharbor was only paying like $50k and UVMHN is gonna be highly competitive.

    4. Funny because there aren’t a ton of narratives you can draw from this. It’s all over the map. Californians stay, Texans stay, MN/WI/MI people stay, Floridians stay. Southerners stay. But like Wyoming and ND are half non native born.

      We hear a lot about people leaving California and the rust belt and flocking to the south but that’s not as true as you would think. Florida is supposedly all transplants amd retirees but I don’t see that reflected here.

      I mean, you could move 10 hours away from your birthplace in Texas and still live in Texas.

      I know people who have literally never left the state in their lives. But I’m from a relatively large state (California), so its not too crazy I guess.

    7. Surprised seeing my home state SC on there. Swear it was filed with out-of- towners lol.

      Texans treat moving between Texas cities the way other Americans talk about moving states. 

      For example, you grow up in Dallas and move to San Antonio, there’s enough differences in culture/lifestyle to feel the change and it’s a similar distance as going from Philadelphia to Boston. I imagine it’s the same situation in California and Florida. 

    9. Something like this always gets reposted and it’s hard to emphasize the size of Texas. Not just the physical size but the size of the economy. It’s a major player in tech, healthcare, industry, finance, and of course energy. This reduces the incentive for people to leave to another state. In addition, the professional networks are relatively isolated; teams in Texas, at least in finance, don’t interact as much with the Cal/Chicago/NYC offices as those offices do with each other.

      Couple this with the fact that Texas has schools that rival the best public and private universities and an agreeable climate for most of the year, many people who were born there don’t ever need a reason to leave.

    10. Why exclude the US citizens abroad, if the purpose is to show that people born there love it and live there, then this matters too

      Surprised by Ohio honesty, given 25 people decided to leave earth rather than stay in Ohio.
