Meanwhile, the most popular destination for relocation is Washington, D.C. “It’s a high-cost area,” says Stoll, “but it features good economic opportunities. It has a maturing high-tech sector and many Federal government jobs, which are more stable in recessions.” Furthermore, D.C. attracts highly educated professionals, and Stoll says college-educated young people between the ages of 18 to 35 are the most likely to move.

One big surprise from the study is Oregon, which is the second most popular state with 61% inbound migration. Although it’s not the typical temperate climate of a retirement spot, Stoll believes hipster city Portland may be attracting both older individuals and young people with its mix of economic growth, cutting edge urban planning and scenic landscape.

Couldn't bring yourself to post the line before that?

"According to the study, North Carolina, South Carolina, Florida and Arizona feature some of the highest ratios of people moving in."

Im a bit late to the party considering I havent posted here in awhile

It's definitely a struggle if you have a low wage job in this town, especially when the cost of living doesn't line up with wages. I work 2 jobs and I'll be lucky if I break $25k this year, I did it last last year but I was also killing myself working in the process

I finally got my full time position at Publix and will be eyeing a management position come next year....if I get it, my income will double what it is now and I will no longer need a second job and I will be above the 1/3 of jobs that are $25,000 or less...my salary will be double that

Just goes to show hard work does indeed pay off. I might be in a low wage job now but I know if I keep doing what I've been doing, it will not last forever

We are talking about jobs and yes there is a proper way to dress, maybe that's why you complain the job market is so terrible if you truly don't believe this.

The reason why Asians make more money in this country than even Whites is because of their strong drive to study and work hard in school and after school, so yes studying hard is important. If you study hard, you can get into top schools and get scholarships, so you may not have any student loan debt.

If you refuse to save money, so you can then invest it whether it's CDs, mutual funds, stocks, annuities, etc then you can only blame yourself at the end of the day. If my parents could come to this country with absolutely nothing, not even knowing English and make it, so can you and your children.

However, if you refuse to teach self accountability or say, well I know a wealthy person who buys cigarettes, therefore why shouldn't I be able to buy cigarettes too, then you will always be poor and complaining.

I agree with this post about Asians and proper English but Jewish people are still by far the richest minority group in America by far, they are 2 percent of the population and make up 35-40 percent of the Billionaires in America.

they are older- we just babies in the scope of things. They were established long long before the US was even in the minds of anyone.

It's a struggle no matter where you live if you have a low wage job.

Make sure there is room for growth no matter what job you do. Even working as a bank teller has a lot of different outlets to advance if you do well.

You have the right attitude. So many stay in the low wage sector never desiring to advance themselves.
Good luck to you Davie.

[tinytrump]

yes good luck and hope you have not only good work ethics but also are a male and fit the criteria. but do NOT linger in a any retail, or food service. There is only one store manager, never see any older mid management in any retail. You make so much, they will find a way to boot you and bring in the new kid at a lesser salary. Seen it 100 times.
