Kentucky
Yet again, people in Kentucky want to move away due to work prospects. The state has a federal minimum wage of $7.25 per hour, while the unemployment rate is at 4.3 percent. Bnlol1 took to Reddit to say that people only want to pay the bills and move away because of this. They said, “The commute in the morning will suck, but extra pay will make up for it, and there’s a much larger job market and opportunities in southern Indiana.”

Half of the people who leave America’s Dairyland also want better work opportunities. However, this is not the only reason for the shift. People also do so for lifestyle, family, and retirement. Over half of the people who flee Wisconsin is 55 years old and above, so it looks like they leave the state behind for good. TopOTheMuffin told Reddit that the winters could be cruel. “You’ll notice a lot of people break plans in the winter because of the cold. No one will directly say it, but it happens regularly that plans with people will get an ‘I’m feeling kinda tired,’ which translates to, ‘I’m under the blankets, and Netflix is already on.’ It’s pretty frustrating,” they explained.
