Great point.

Lets brainstorm and - just do it -
Malloy and Lamont both have been working on that.

Saying that it's only retired folks on a fixed income moving to Florida is flat-out wrong. The average gross incomes of new Florida residents exceeded $100,000, with those moving to Florida from Connecticut averaging $253,000. Those leaving Connecticut (to any state) earn 26% more than the people coming to Connecticut.

Did you not read Bob's article? I'm wondering why you replied to Bob about the article if you appear to not even have read it. They used Bloomberg's analysis of IRS filing and Census data.

True. And the 26% lower income of new residents is a source that has been posted on this forum many times. I’ll find it tomorrow and repost.

I am not sure why your comment was quoted. For some reason the system included it. I was not questioning your comment. I was questioning Obedientsir’s comment. Jay

Uh... no. I’m not saying there is not job growth there but that does not necessarily mean all of the people are leaving Connecticut for jobs. We’ve had data posted here that shows the majority of people leaving Connecticut for Florida are retirees. The income quoted in the article is what that person earned the previous year so it’s not necessarily their income when they get there.

Also note the the vast majority of jobs being created in Florida are low income jobs, not the high paying jobs people here are leaving with. That is quite different than the claims being made here. Jay

If what you say were true, FL wouldn’t be nearly leading the pack in income gains. And if the people leaving CT are mostly retirees as claimed above, they wouldn’t be taking their jobs with them.

Where does it say that Connecticut residents are taking their jobs with them when they leave? It doesn’t.

Also No. 1 on the income growth list is West Virginia. Does that mean they have a booming economy that is drawing jobs from affluent states?

The links I provided show that the majority of the jobs being added in Florida are low wage jobs and Florida’s average wages are still well under the national average. Jay
