The area resumed a long decline in April after three months of modest expansion.

The state created only 54,000 jobs in seven years.

The state lost a bigger share per resident moving out than anywhere else in the country, according to IRS data.

Residents of all age and income groups move out, but those making over $200,000 lead the departures.

A net of nearly 56,000 people and $6 billion in income left the state in 2023, according to IRS data.

State residents earn more than they did in 2019 but are falling behind the rest of the country while the tax burden drives out businesses.
