At Forbes No.1 position of Top 10 States People Are Fleeing, New York came up on top. Based on 2010 prediction from Moody's Economy.com, it is estimated that New York will lose 49,000 more people then it gained this year. The state has also lossed an average of 100,000 people for the past five years. Part of the reason for the large numbers is that New York has not seen the kind of housing meltown as other states have seen.
At No. 2 is Illinois, with an estimated loss of 27,000 people this year. This has been consistent over the past five years. The loss of manufacturing and industrial jobs has forced people to have to move out of state.
The rest of the top five looks like this:
No. 3- Ohio, losing an estimated 8,900 people. This estimate is a decline compared to the previous years which saw losses of 20,000 yearly.
No. 4 - Nebraska, losing 5,900 people. Considering the population of the whole state is 1.8 million, this loss is quite significant.
No. 5 - Kansas, losing 4,200 people.
