Platinum Contributing Member Highmark Posted July 7, 2022 Platinum Contributing Member Share Posted July 7, 2022 https://www.foxnews.com/media/red-states-florida-texas-doing-better-post-pandemic-economy-blue-states-wsj-reports "Red states have added 341,000 jobs over that time, while blue states were still short 1.3 million jobs as of May." Mitchell cited several high-profile companies, including Citadel and Caterpillar, as organizations moving from blue to red states. He also pointed to a Moody analysis which revealed a trend of workers moving to red states, noting that "Remote work allowed many workers to move to red states, not because of political preferences, but for financial and lifestyle reasons—cheaper housing, better weather, less traffic and lower taxes." Notably, financial, lifestyle, and tax differences across the states have a lot to do with politics. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In 2021, that number surged to 210 inbound residents for every 100 who left, meaning more than twice as many people moved into the state than left it.May 24, 2022 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

spin_dry Posted July 7, 2022 Share Posted July 7, 2022 What a ridiculous hit piece. Typical of Highmark. Caterpillar is moving 200 jobs to Texas over the course of years. Meanwhile the 17,000 jobs stay in Illinois, What a fail. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cold War Posted July 7, 2022 Share Posted July 7, 2022 Never been to Florida in the heart of summer. We keep saying we are going to go, just to see if we can handle the heat if we make a permanent move. Northern Michigan in the summertime is hard to beat.
