Movin’ on out: More New Jersey residents opting to flee
Many people may be leaving Las Vegas these days, but many more have been exiting New Jersey.
An annual study released Wednesday by United Van Lines — the nation’s largest moving company — shows that Garden Staters are moving out at a high rate. New Jersey and Illinois are tied for the largest outbound migration, with 60.5 percent of those moves involving people heading out.
“This is certainly not the kind of list we want to be at the top of,” said state Senate President Stephen M. Sweeney of Gloucester County. (Cooney, Gannett)
