US Senate Report - Losing Our Minds: Brain Drain across the United States
“Over the past 50 years, the United States has experienced major shifts in geographic mobility patterns among its highly-educated citizens.

“The Evergreen State has been on a tear since 2014, passing Michigan, Virginia and North Carolina to claw its way up from 14th place. Movements of this scale are unusual — Washington was the only state to move up in 2018.
Unsurprisingly, the biggest boost to Washington’s economy came from the information services and retail sectors, industries which include fast-growing, globe-spanning behemoths Microsoft and Amazon.”
