The Great Covid Business Migration

[BabyBoomer50s]

States with onerous lockdowns lost employers as well as workers.

“BLS counted 6,384 businesses in 2021 that had moved across state lines during the prior year, up from 5,524 in 2020 and 3,677 in 2010. Net migration to the South and from the Northeast doubled between 2020 and 2021. After gaining businesses from other states for most of the last three decades, the West lost a net 175 in 2021—mostly from California.”

Damn shame the republithug's response was so poorly executed from the beginning.

If only COVID went away when it got hotter in the spring as they claimed it would.

Over the long haul, it won't matter because business will always follow the money and money flows well in certain states.

So it's all Trump's fault that people left California and NY to move to Florida and Texas?

Key takeaway:
“Progressive government can’t abuse businesses and taxpayers with impunity. Employers can and will leave.”

I didn't realize Desantis was a "progressive."

COVID didn't cause it.

He’s not. With minimal Covid lockdowns and low taxes, his state led the way in small business migration.

The "beautiful" prediction from the former Felon-in-chief about churches full "by Easter"......

And flees taxation, regulation, and over-priced labor.

His speel chicken was out protesting white supras the day he registered.
