Eli,

The table is from Mark Perry's column at AEI, "America’s top 10 inbound vs. top 10 outbound states: How do they compare on a variety of tax burden, business climate, fiscal health and economic measures?" I'm typically skeptical of these types of presentations since it's easy to pick the things that support your argument and ignores the things that don't. That said, an interesting table. North Dakota in the outbound states probably due to the oil recession in 2016. It would be interesting to see how much of the migration is retirement driven (AZ, FL, NV, the Carolinas). I was struck by how similar the unemployment rates were in the two groups, and how different the employment growth was. But employment growth is a function of both labor demand and supply.
