Correct. Otherwise why would Texas, Florida, Georgia, SC, NC, Tennessee, Arkansas and Kentucky have net gains while Vermont, NY, Mass, Conn and Delaware have net losses, just like Iowa...
Iowa has the 10th highest rate of college graduates who leave their state.

What I'm saying is, even if at the end of the month I had the same entertainment spending power in Baltimore as I did in Iowa City, there's a ton more to spend it on.
Not to mention other benefits. My wife has been going to Johns Hopkins for migraine treatment since moving here. It's much improved and she's getting options now that take years to make it to the Midwest. Her new neurologist kinda laughed at the treatment program the CRapids doc had her on.
There's no disputing there are more entertainment options in Baltimore than in Iowa City. That's fine for you.
But for some people those additional options come at a price they aren't willing to pay, not just in terms of money. Some people simply don't like living in a large city. And that's fine for them, too.
To me these small towns have an opportunity to entice young remote work professionals to come live in their communities. Yes we know Keota Iowa won't have a large sports team or music venue, but it can offer a good life at a great price. However, these small towns are filled with people who are leery of outsiders and would rather people "just leave it they're going to leave" instead of welcoming them and their professional salaries into the local economy.
I knew someone who was briefly on the council in a small town in Iowa. They wanted to expand the parks and add bike trails, and complete sidewalk networks in town so it was easier to walk to places. Pretty easy stuff to raise the standard of living in this town, and maybe attract a few professionals to move in. It was shot down and they have since left the council and will soon leave the town. It was kinda crazy the animosity some people had towards spending public money on bike trails.
Yeah clearly. And clearly the college grads aren't the ones sticking around.
We want teachers, not ideologues.
I disagree with you on this one. Remote workers have an extra 2-3 hours a day between commuting, getting ready for work etc. as well as more money at the end of the day from not spending money on random crap while working outside of the house. They have time and money, and they want to spend it on getting out of the house, hence rents and home prices through the roof anywhere that the weather is decent and/or in urban centers.
🤣
Not shocking that an insecure, irrelevant bigot like yourself would think fostering an inclusive learning environment makes someone an "ideologue."
The world is leaving you behind, Grandpa.
Again, your inferiority complex is showing.

The University of Iowa incessantly teaches their white students to loathe themselves and western civilization. Of course they leave Iowa afterwards.
These white students would need some form of deprogramming in order to stay in the State.

Anyone else wondering just how accurate this survey is, considering that it relies entirely on data culled from LinkedIn profiles?
I mean, are people in small towns just as likely to have a LinkedIn profile as people in big cities? If you grow up in small-town Iowa, get a degree in education, and return to your hometown to take a teaching job, how likely are you to even bother having a LinkedIn profile?

All of that is taken into account. You were wrong.
I find it hilarious that you spent so much time desperately trying to find a way to spin the numbers so you can be right.
Which is why they pay, on average, 9% less in Iowa City than Baltimore. But it's not 25%.
James….poverty has its price…NM might be a look into the not too distant future for about 30-40 Iowa counties… New Mexico still has Santa Fe, remember..
No, it isn't. $371K is the median price of a 3BR/2BA home in the city of Baltimore, not the median price of 3BR/2BA homes in Baltimore neighborhoods where white people from Iowa would feel comfortable living. If you want to buy a home in a reasonably safe neighborhood then you're going to pay a lot more in Baltimore than you would in Johnson County, Iowa.
Yeah well, if your state governor is Kim Jong Reynolds you kind of want to get out of the state as fast as possible.
Think really, really hard - squint if you have to - and see if you can identify something Iowa, Vermont, Connecticut, Delaware, and Rhode Island all have in common aside from the fact that they all have one of the highest 'brain drain" rate in the country.
I'll give you a hint - it's not politics.
Did people in the U.S. leave when Donald Trump and Joe Biden were president of the country?
Wait until they get caught in that shitshow that is public education now. They will run to those private schools if the money is there.
‘I’m not going to teach in Iowa’: UNI students explain why they’re not sticking around
She grew up in Ames and went to the University of Northern Iowa (UNI) in Cedar Falls to become a teacher. But Lydia plans to leave Iowa as soon as she graduates. "Here at UNI, there's so much emphasis in our classes on social-emotional learning and inclusion and talking about issues of...iowastartingline.com
No young person with a lot of extra time on their hands is going to want to live in a small town. They're not going to live in a place that's 70 miles from a Whole Foods or a good Thai restaurant.
Why would that be different than most other public universities?
You will try to spin ANYTHING to avoid admitting you are wrong. LOL.
Or...maybe it's the fact that none of those states have any major cities.
Do you honestly think Iowa's college graduates are moving out of state for better weather? They're mostly moving to big cities, where the job opportunities are. They're mostly moving to places like Chicago and Minneapolis and Kansas City, where the weather isn't much better than where they came from.
I would imagine that a lot of college graduates from Rhode Island and Vermont and Delaware end up in cities like Boston or New York or Philadelphia, where the weather isn't much better than where they came from.
LOL. The lengths you will go. Cities are a huge attractor, as is weather.
We know they aren't staying in Iowa because the cost of living is so much lower.
There are also far more paths from 125K to 200K, 300K and more in MD than IA.
Unemployment rate doesn’t provide any context as to why college educated people are leaving the state. It just means jobs are being filled. College educated people are leaving the state versus starting a career at Casey’s.
A vibrant, growing economy needs an educated workforce.
You’re the guy who posted about pissing yourself at the prospect of going to Hy-Vee after dark.
Schools focusing on Diversity, Equity and inclusion. That's why we have fallen behind the rest of the world as far as testing scores, etc. Kids get along fine until adult f them up.
Put the focus on academics and stop with the social engineering.
If this young lady wants to focus on "wishy washy bullshit", California or New York would be the perfect place for her.
Good luck to her ever finding an affordable home to purchase. $6.00 a gallon gas is pretty cool too.
She can get her eyes open to all of the "equity" there. She can witness the small cities of homeless on the streets while the millionaires zoom by in their $200k cars heading for their gated communities.
Yessir, Iowa is just a horrible place..
Good bye young lady. (guessing you may be back soon)
People are leaving California and New York in droves. Those places have the most liberal baby killing laws in the country so there goes your theory on that one.
High cost of living, high crime rates and shit piles in the streets. Ah yes, California dreaming.. Iowa is just a horrible place to live.
