New Jersey became the No. 1 state to move away from in 2018, according to new data from moving and relocation company United Vans Lines.

The top reason why residents left was for a professional opportunity, the UVL data shows. Of all the residents who moved out, 46 percent listed "job" as the deciding factor.

"A leading motivation behind these migration patterns across all regions," in fact, "is a career change," the report says. About "one out of every two people who moved in the past year moved for a new job or company transfer."

Reported by MSN/NBC, Jake. Forget it. They’re the “Chinatown” of Jersey.

Vast swaths of America are crime-infested cesspools now thanks to decades of liberal policies.

High taxes chase businesses out of New Jersey creating jobs in others which jobs entice New Jersey residents to migrate.

Woody Allen’s definition of God:

An all-powerful, all loving Being that exists throughout the entire Universe except certain parts of New Jersey.

I’ve lived in the Jersey shores and next door on the boardwalk to Asbury Park. The thing that puzzles me is why anyone lives in that corrupt, hostile state in the first place.

Don't kid yourself. Eastcoasters are generally mean, insular, abrupt, and wholly disagreeable.

Ancient Dating

Whenever I chat up Neanderthal chicks,
my Cro-Magnon gonads keep stalling.
It’s not a bad lick how her brow is too thick,
but that New Jersey accent’s appalling.

They’re leaving to get away from people just like them. They don’t realize they are part of the problem.

There’s some exceptions, but for the most part, I wish they’d stay the heck in Jersey.

Even the weird leftist enclaves established on our coasts don’t get that Trump is realy on their side too. Chaos isn’t good for business.

Everybody moves out the day they stop working. If you’re not pulling down big bucks, you can’t afford the taxes.

Now they want more.

I moved to Jersey 26 years ago. When I moved onto my block, we had five retirees and three working families. Now the retirees are all gone or moved, but new retirees have not replaced them.

My last day at work will be my last day in New Jersey. I can make more money here, but I pay for the opportunity.

In all seriousness, urban flight is largely crime driven. We all know the score. I could say some un-PC things but won’t.

Shouldn’t NJ be paradise? After all the RATS control that state and they have truly “honest” people like Bob Menendez representing them in Congress.
