So why is he still in Cali?
$100,000 salary would go a lot further in Alabama than silicon valley.
GM left the San Fernando Valley decades ago.
This is not just happening in Alabama and Nevada but everywhere with the exception of states such as California, Illinois, New Jersey, nearly all of New England and any State run by Socialist more concerned with Illegal Aliens that Working Class Law-Abiding Citizen Families. Beretta is moving to Tennessee and out of Maryland. I only hope we in Pennsylvania get rid of the Democrat Governor and Legislature so that some of these jobs will move here as well.
Tesla would scoff at this: they think themselves not as an automaker, but as as a software development company that applies its software to autos.
Some people think its cool to be able to have one parent stay at home to raise kids, or have a house with a yard.

Funny that the writer mentions the social scene in Birmingham when the growth is taking place in Huntsville and Mobile. Those two cities are much more attractive than Birmingham and its messed up politics and Montgomery with its schools taken over be the state. I think that Huntsville and Mobile are much more active in recruiting new industry because they have more to offer. The Huntsville area has a long established high tech economy while Mobile has their port and other transportation access.
I really wish these folks would STFU! We don’t need any more liberals in Alabama.
Thankful to be an engineer in Alabama, part of the 17%. Mexifornia is in the process of destroying itself.
Remember when California was a Golden State? That was before it descended into Third World status. Stupidity has its consequences. I saw it coming and got out; it appears to have been genius, but in fact it was nothing but honesty. Evil is the ultimate stupidity, and scorn of truth is a serious evil. A word to the wise: Never, ever deceive yourself; always be ruthlessly truthful with yourself.
Three little words: Right To Work!
Nah - not in Birmingham.
Hubby and I are making the great escape from the “swamp.” We’re in the midst of purchasing a great 1967 ranch fixer upper in Athens AL. We currently pay $6000 in property taxes on a very modest town house. Limestone County property taxes on the new house: less than $600. Sweet Home Alabama.
“Today, Alabama has the third most technical workforce in the United States with about 17 percent of the workforce in science, technology, and engineering, according to a Bloomberg analysis.”
This is fake news. I believe Democrat Senator Patty Murray:
“I have stood on the line in Everett, Wash., where we have thousands of workers who go to work every day to build these planes,” Murray told NPR. “I would challenge anybody to tell me that they’ve stood on a line in Alabama and seen anybody building anything.”/s/
I really, REALLY wish stuff like this article would never see the light of day!
PLEASE, let’s not encourage them to come here. It needs to be our little secret!
Well, Cali would have fewer giant forest fires if they copied Alabama’s scientific forestry management (e.g. building new logging roads as strategic firebreaks, clearing underbrush, and such).
