Thread: The California Exodus

Coming soon to a city near you! The liberal virus.

THIS REVEALING CHART SHOWS YOU EXACTLY WHAT THE CALIF. EXODUS LOOKS LIKE:

Between municipal bankruptcies, rising taxes, the proposal of new taxes, and the promise of friendlier business climates in other states, the exodus of business leaders and U.S. residents from California is wholly unsurprising.
And this isn’t some new phenomenon. No, the Golden State has been bleeding residents foryears, which is a shame considering all that the state is capable of.
“For most of its history, California has occupied a special place in the mind of most Americans. From the height of the Gold Rush through the 1980s, California’s warm weather and booming economy drew enterprising, educated and talented immigrants from across the country. California was the melting pot of America’s melting pot, leading all states in the number of residents who were born in other U.S. states,” the Washington Examiner’s Conn Carroll writes.
Sadly, as Carroll notes, that California does not exist anymore.
“According to a 2012 University of Southern California study on state demographics, you have to go back to the early 1990s to find a time when more Americans were moving to California than leaving it for other states,” he writes. “Thanks to high housing prices and a weak job market, California is now a net exporter of U.S. citizens to other states.”
And in case you’d like help visualizing some of this, we have you covered. The below chart from the U.S. Census Bureau perfectly illustrates Carroll’s point:

New York saw the biggest net loss of residents to other states — almost 116,000.

Illinois had the second-largest net outflow of residents, with about 73,500 more people migrating out of the state than moving into it.

A record number of U.S. counties _ more than 1 in 3 _ are now dying off, hit by an aging population and weakened local economies that are spurring young adults to seek jobs elsewhere. New 2012 census estimates highlight the population shifts as the U.S. encounters its most sluggish growth levels since the Great Depression. In the last year, Maine joined West Virginia as the only two entire states where deaths exceed births, which have dropped precipitously after the recent recession.
