Key takeaway: American's love Texas and North Carolina
I wouldn't go that far. People will move where the jobs are, period. Ever been to Irving, TX? Outside of the Las Colinas area it's a pretty dumpy city.

True. But a lot of people move because of other reasons like weather. I don't think it's any surprise that the fastest growing cities are warm weather cities.
I do love Texas.. I love their culture i love the people.. I love Texans.. only problem I have with Texas is their heat and humidity.. I like it cool and dry or if not that than 4 equal seasons. I hated San Antonio weather except in the Winter.

When the manufacturing jobs were in the north, that's where everyone went for decades; now that there are more jobs in the south, that's where everyone is moving. It's about jobs, not weather.

Check out this article. Only 9% of people who migrate do so for employment reasons. And just look at most of the threads on this forum with people asking where they should move...it's mostly for personal reasons. Very few can upend their families to move half way across the country for a job. For people struggling to make ends meat, how do they apply for jobs several states away and fly back and forth for interviews? Most move for more affordable housing, more space and yes...better weather.
