So in honor of Friday, I'm posting this video with Lewis Black, a response to Governor Perry's recent ad campaign dissing places like Illinois, California, and New York
( Read more... )
I don't always like Lewis Black, but that was good.
I keep hoping that Rick Perry campaign to try to lure business to Texas will backfire on him if he chooses to run for president in 2016. My thought is that it would make it harder for him to win Republican primaries in those states, since what he's doing is basically trying to threaten the local economy in those states. And I mean, especially after the recent abortion legislation, who the fuck would want to live in Texas? Come on.
5-8 year old data? So, like, while GWB was president, Texas seemed desirable?
Interesting how Texas was (in 2005-2007) in the top 10 for inflow and outflow: 2nd in inflow, 4th in outflow. Maybe people like the image better than the reality.
Calendars (since it's pretty old data as was pointed out) and maps apparently confuse you
if you can find more recent comprehensive data, i'd be happy to see it. this just happens to be the best data set i could find.
Since Texas and New York are in the top states for inflow and outflow
yes, this is because they have large populations. the net % of population is the more useful metric, which is where math comes into play.
New York has quite a bit inflow from Southern states too, what's that interesting story tell?
and the net effect is negative for NY. so the story is that more people are fleeing the NY and heading to other states, mostly southern. Why?
So the rankings and percentages ....as much as you want to make a big deal about it, well, they're not a big deal.
I'm not making a big deal about it, I'm just asking, if NY is such a great place to be, why are so many people leaving, and why is it at the bottom of the net movers list?
And while you think you really know the answer for the migration, you really don't.when did i

that's the most recent data i could find that was comprehensive. if you can find more recent data i'd love to see it.

because Texas is a big state, its going to be at the top when looking at the raw numbers. but if you look at the net movers as a % of the total population, Texas is ranked 11th in the country at +1.8% (NY is 46th at -3.4%)
