I am not understanding what you are saying. Very few states are losing people right now.
Migration. More people are moving out of the state than there are people moving in. But the number of people being born makes for a net gain for the state.
Okay you say Florida is losing Residents on one list and then gaining on another. Uhhhh which is it for Flroida? its the only state I see on there twice LOL

That is what they had on the list! I guess they are losing and gaining.
The figures in the OP represent domestic outmigration, (US citizens moving in minus US citizens moving out). They don't take into account births, deaths, international immigration, etc. So while more Americans are moving out of those states than in, births and international immigration keep the net population figures moving up.
In your example, New Jersey's population is growing, but the domestic migration is negative.
Thank you very much for clearing that up.
I knew they did not count immigration into that study, but I was under the impression that births and deaths were.
