    Very interesting new report about how America's economic geography has changed since the great recession: https://eig.org/news/new-study-shows-how-recovery-from-the-great-recession-transformed-the-geography-of-u-s-economic-well-being … Short version: Places with lots of skilled workers are doing great, other places aren't. But more people are moving to the former, which is good.

        And, here's the racial breakdown. Nothing too surprising here. Note that the distressed places are pretty racially mixed, while the prosperous places are about 75% white.pic.twitter.com/8w4dJyqoHd

        The places doing best economically are the same people whose vote will count the least?

        The latter does not seem to be a good thing: only the people who can "afford" to move (defined broadly) are moving presumably, accelerating geographic polarization further. In a sense, Senate malapportionment is a good thing in this regard... 1/

        If it forces people to see the geographic disparity in reocovery. But if, instead, if people insist that they should be ignored b/c there aren't many people there anyways, things will get worse at least in the medium term in the political realm. 2/

        “But more people are moving to the former, which is good.” Maybe for the economy. But for the makeup of the Senate and (to a lesser degree) the House, no.

        I guess those communities losing skilled people would benefit by making up the loss in volume, by importing more unskilled workers.

        Real glad to see the mobility pick up. I was wondering what the heck it would take, and was favoring some government-aided relocation packages.

        My state is not one where I think there are not many skilled workers & yet we had the lowest unemployment rate during the 2008 recession & went relatively unscathed. We have issues with state budgets after the legislature needlessly reduced income taxes, but growth was steady.
