The fact remains that states that need jobs recruit companies. And guess what, they try and get those plants put where they need the jobs most, i.e. in "poverty pockets*."
Another sadder fact: there are many regions that are desperate for economic development, but they are in states that have a hostile business climate (bureaucracy, high taxes, etc.) Or even sadder: in which the resident population that needs the work is unsuitable for same.
* in re "Povery Pockets," I beg your kind forbearance for the provocative nature of my comments. I shall limit the piquance of my remarks in future.

Sheila should move to Detroit. She’d be happy there.
