This is only a handful of millennial – a few thousand people – and not surprisingly, awful california seemed to gain the most (working for start up in CA is still a thing? They still actually do that?)

The real brain drain is the middle class with years of experience that runs the day to day operation of our local companies. A hot shot millennial is just another transient liberal. But a middle class resident pays taxes, buys local and makes future tax payers. They’re they ones that are leaving or have left.
