Nebraska
While some people refer to Nebraska as a “flyover state,” its affordable cost of living and laidback lifestyle has made it an ideal place to live in. This is only true if you do not mind a more low-key lifestyle. “No one lives here because it’s a destination,” said a Reddit user called timthetoolmantooth. “We live here because we are hardworking people that like to keep most of what we earn.” At any rate, life in the Cornhusker State is not always easy. Nearly 70 percent of people who leave want better job prospects.

West Virginia
We are sure that you know the famous John Denver song that talks about how West Virginia is “almost heaven.” However, we doubt that he was referring to the job market. People mostly leave the Mountain State because of work. The next top reason they do so is for family, but there is a huge gap between the two. The state has a lot of natural beauty, which has been enough to attract more people to move to it in the past year. “The physical beauty is tough to surpass,” explained Brian Piercy, a Quora user. He added, “The only downside has to be lack of upwardly mobile employment opportunities. High-technology jobs are extremely tough to find and concentrated in smaller, family-owned firms.”
