I'm from the midwest. Many of these cities are not big popuation centers. Many are losing residents so of course the resident there are taking whatever jobs are left. Many of these cities are in states that are losing an electoral vote. Which mean the population is moving away.

I'm sure businesses are lining up to relocate to Lawrence or Manhattan KS (who both happen to be university towns), In fact many of these town have a large university the town exists around.

Hawaii, California, Maine are on the coasts.

Do you have a link to support your claims? I ask because as far as I know, the only state in the midwest losing population is Illinois, and IL didn't make the list. That runs contrary to your line of reasoning.

What claims are you talking about?

I shall return.

Well, you claimed that many of those Midwest states on the list are losing an electoral vote because they are losing population, implying that is the reason for the low unemployment rates in those cities. But I've only heard that IL is losing population, and IL is not on the list.

[Clever nickname here]

What's funny is while the OP's list is in liberal states many of those are rural towns, are conservative, and went Trump.

Right. For instance, Bakersfield voted for Trump by 53%. So this thread is just a stupid waste of time.

LOL, Like I just posted, this thread is just a stupid waste of time. I'm through with it.

Just look at rents and housing prices in those liberal areas. I wonder how on earth are people are able to afford them.

Why do you think I'm having a hard time finding a job? Tell me.

your attitude.

Pretty sure I saw Austin and Denver on that list and those are 2 of the fastest growing metros in the nation.

Also, you have no idea how the electoral college works of you think that a state loses electoral votes just because people move away, in fact a state can have net positive migration and lose an electoral college vote.
