It’s going to be a migration story week. Via the AP and the New Jersey Star Ledger is the story of the day. It says that more and more residents of New Jersey are fleeing…. to Pennsylvania?
I thought we were a tax hell or something like that? Everyone should be fleeing Pennsylvania I thought. I know I read that somewhere???
Note that the New Jersey folks are probably not heading into the state for the shale gas jobs. Will have to look a bit more closely at this data myself to see if there is anything to be said about migration of shale workers into the state.
The parsing has only begun actually. Pittsburgh (city, region or pick your county) has always ranked near the top in a metric of what percentage of householders have lived in their current place of residence the longest. I will have to look at the data the folks are reporting on to see if that is still generally true or if we have budged out of the top spots.
and I have updated my regional migration report on the UCSUR publications page fwiw.
