Not necessarily true. Politifact did a check of that (thats where I got the link) and found the truth to be a mixed bag. I read something else a while back that also looked at the claim and found that taxes/politics was the primary reason for moving for a very small percent of people.

Sure j.o.b.s is probably primary

A long time ago I read somethin about why people move. Reasons vary

Jobs was a big one. Family was just as big. Weather was the biggest factor amoung retirees. Some of the dumbest ones were things like status of the destination.

New York projects a greater status than say......Cleveland. Dumb I know, but that is actually a consideration of a few.

Yeah, work is a big one. I've been applying for jobs all over the country, and if I leave California that will be the reason why. Well, that or the prospect of a cooler climate.
