Georgia

There is something to be said about the southern hospitality in Georgia. The state has been welcoming more residents than saying goodbye to them, although the gap is not that big. If you want to move to the Peach State, you should know that the real estate market is pretty bad. “I had to get over sticker-shock when finding a house to buy,” said a Quora user called Mitch Anderson. “It’s quite a bit more expensive here,” ZipRecruiter reported that the median annual salary in the state is nearly $7,000 lower than the national average as well. Those who plan to move there better look for a good job first.

There was a time when Arkansas was called The Land of Opportunity. We can’t help but wonder if this is really the case. While the state had gone up seven spots in terms of inbound moves from the year before, over three-quarters of people who left wanted to look for better work opportunities elsewhere. JaysusMoon is a Redditor who said that this is not exactly because of a scarcity of job prospects. They said, “Depending on your industry; there are a lot of jobs in Arkansas that offer a decent wage without much work experience… [but] the fact that we’re a right-to-work state with very little union support does push wages down. A lot.”
