Nice graphic on migration patterns in the US among the States. See where people are leaving and going to. All I can say is Texas is doing something right and California is not.

People on the move...Migration patterns in the US in the past few years.  California, New York, Michigan, Ilinois and Louisiana are all net losers in terms of migration.  Texas, Arizona, Georgia, and North Carolina are all gainers.

People go to where there are opportunities and businesses locate to States that have hospitable business climates and responsible government.
