The U.S. States People Are Fleeing (And The Ones They Are Moving To)
Karsten Strauss, Forbes, Jan 18, 2018
10. Wisconsin
- Total Moves: 3,285
- Percentage Moving Out: 54.5%
Madison was #10 loser last year, according to Forbes and United Van Lines, with a net - 4.5%. Maybe this is why Republican Governor Scott Walker is spending $7 million on a national ad campaign to attract workers.
According to another Forbes article on state business climate, Wisconsin's Labor Supply ranking is lower than any nearby state but Michigan. The ranking considers college or high school grade levels, net migration, projected population growth, union workforce, and population between 25 and 34.
According to a Forbes source, “Finding highly-educated millennials is top of mind for all of our clients.” Wisconsin's college attendance and net migration in 2016 were worse than Minnesota's. More people are going to college in Minnesota, and voting for Minnesota with their feet.
