The five states Americans can’t wait to leave

Americans are voting with their feet, leaving overcrowded, over regulated and overtaxed states – particularly in the Northeast, home to liberalism – for more affordable states.

The Northeast continues to experience a moving deficit with New Jersey (67 percent outbound) and New York (65 percent) making the list of top outbound states for the fourth consecutive year. Two other states in the region — Connecticut (63 percent) and Massachusetts (57 percent) — also joined the top outbound list this year. The exception to this trend is Vermont (62 percent inbound), which moved up two spots on the list of top inbound states to No. 3.

Moving Out – The top outbound states for 2015 were:

New Jersey
New York
Illinois
Connecticut
Ohio
Kansas
Massachusetts
West Virginia
Mississippi
Maryland

He may be a day late and a dollar short, 647. The fact is, Maryland is lacking in the job sector - even with the metro area of DC. Jobs are new black dress and Maryland just don't fill the bill.

Thanks to the O'Malley-esque mentality of spend spend spend... it would be ridiculous for folks (especially the young) to hang around and wilt on the vines of inefficiency.

On a microcosmic level, Salisbury is a glorified retirement community with a college plopped right in the middle of it. Hence, the midday traffic jams on 13 that put LA to shame.

You forgot to add slum community as well. They don't work and start their day around noon, adding to the traffic problems as they shuffle across the roadways and panhandle at intersections/stores.
