Sarcasm? Well, not terribly so. I really thought the Massachusetts, New Hampshire, and upstate New York people joined the ranks of Long Islanders and New Jerseyans in terms of moving south in droves.
As for the other way around, Charlotte is where many of the yankees and Midwesterners are relocating to. Nashville was also on some Yahoo! Top 10 list JUST TODAY for continuing to add jobs and remain strong in the midst of this recession.
Doesn't the map show cities experiencing recession? I'm not sure that has much to do with whether people are moving in or out of the city...it's about the economy, right?

True.
People leave Boston because of cost, weather, and politics. Not because of the economy.

The map is about economy, not moving patterns, you're right.
However, in places where there is a longer-term struggling economy (usually combined with high taxes and COL), people are more likely to create moving patterns, too (not that this map highlights that, but just for the sake of argument.)
This is like bragging about home prices a month after foreclosures started. While some places are still untouched by the current economic downturn, it will eventually reach all places in the US to some degree or another.

I suspect Texas appears to be doing well because the map was probably assembled from data around a year old. What is the condition now when gas and oil prices have dropped precipitously? Oil is a cornerstone of the Texan economy- there's no way lower oil prices are not giving it a Texas-sized beating.

Yup. I don't see the party lasting much longer down there. But I do hope for the best-for all places. This is going to be a rough one.

Texas is much more diversified these days. Their industries, other than energy, include aerospace engineering, defense development, agriculture, chemicals, healthcare/research, tourism, technology, manufacturing....etc etc.
Many Texas corporations are driven by a necessity type market demand which should prove to be more stable than places like Florida, California, etc.
Damn is everyone this pissed Texas is doing so good. One person congratulates Texas and everyone comes in pretty much wishes bad luck on us. We known there are chances that we could sooner or later be in recession, but right now were not.

What?
I dont think anyone is wishing bad luck on Texas. We're just a bit sober on the realities of our current economy.
