Educated people are leaving more rural states much quicker than they are being replaced
IN A MORE agricultural era, America’s West and Midwest seemed like the promised land. Starting in the mid-19th century, the federal government distributed free land to settlers who were willing to brave the tribulations of frontier life to forge a new beginning. Today, however, services make up the bulk of the American economy, and rural regions are facing two demographic challenges. First, more people are moving out than are moving in.
Although the depopulation of America’s “heartland” is well-known, the internal redistribution of educated professionals —so-called“brain drain”—poses new economic, social and political difficulties for affected areas. Updated for 2017, new data from Congress’s Joint Economic Committee show that most states in the Rust Belt, Southeast and Plains regions are losing their educated residents to coastal states, as well as to Texas and Illinois.
