On a state level, the Great Lakes region continues to bleed jobs. Meanwhile, states in the West and South -- and especially North and South Carolina -- have gained and will keep gaining, according to data collected from Relocation.com.

For every 100 people looking to move to Michigan, 210 were looking to move out of the state. Ohio saw more people wanting to leave than stay: for every 100 people looking to move to Ohio, 150 requested moving quotes to move out of state.
The biggest beneficiaries of this population displacements are North Carolina, which saw nearly 80% more moving requests to move to North Carolina than to leave North Carolina (for every 100 people requesting moving quotes to leave the state, 180 indicated they wanted to move to North Carolina).
South Carolina saw nearly 70% more moving requests to move to the state than to leave.
