+1 the high paying jobs are still not in the south. And I don't think kids are wanting to go south for college because of politics, but more because the NE colleges are getting harder to get into and the weather.

Which is why most try to leave as soon as they graduate.

They don’t, that’s the entire point.

Younger people are more conservative. Times have changed, grandma.

Multiple sources in the other thread that dispute this.

Those “sources” didn’t actually said that though. Did you read them? Reading comprehension issues maybe?

Most young men do not support liberal politics even Gavin Newsom is re-branding himself and also the Mass Democrat Congressman. Apparently not all seniors are heading south as evidenced by the 80 year olds that dominate the leadership of Democrats.

Yes, like everyone else around here, the first thing I do every morning is check out the latest developments in the Bay Area commercial real estate market. It sure is exciting.

MAGAs love to push their “alternate facts”.

Most college grads in the south are trying to get TF out. 72% of their job applications are outside of the south.

“Of all applications from students and recent grads at schools in the South, 28% went to jobs in that region. New York City again was the top city drawing applications from candidates in the South, accounting for 25% of all applications.”

We invest in commercial real estate so sometimes we actually do check out listings in the morning over coffee. Lol

This is an analysis of job applications. It is not moving data. It is not a poll about where people want to move. It also doesn’t tell us where they moved to.

What we know about actual move data comes from the census and which states are growing and which ones are experiencing population decline. We also see the trend for students attending schools in the south and greater percentages.

I’m sorry all of this hurts your political ego.

Not to get too off topic but couldn’t that be influence by temporary displacement in state, from the fires?

Do you not understand math? “More likely” of a small number is still a small number.

Young people still lean liberal. Suck it.

A lot is in flux. But, as always, it’s all about location.

Indeed, this data tells us that most of the desirable jobs are still not in the south. It also tells us that they are willing to go where the jobs are.

Anecdotally, neither of my kids want to live in the south, nor do they want to go to college in the south. If they can help it, they'd rather go to NYC, CA or Seattle after graduation.

People move to the south because it's cheap, and there's a reason why it's cheaper.
