Ridgewood NJ, more people moved out of Governor Murphy’s high tax Sanctuary State in 2018 than any other state, according to a new study by United Van Lines . The United Van Lines’ 42nd Annual National Movers Study, which tracks customers’ state-to-state migration patterns over the past year, revealed that more residents moved out of New Jersey than any other state in 2018.

New Jersey residents looking for sanctuary led in outbound migration with (66.8 percent), Connecticut (62 percent) and New York (61.5 percent) were included among the top 10 outbound states for the fourth consecutive year. Midwestern states like Illinois (65.9 percent), Kansas (58.7 percent), Ohio (56.5 percent) and Iowa (55.5 percent) saw high outbound relocation as well.

The National Movers Study also reveals business data of inbound and outbound moves from 2018. In addition to this study, United Van Lines also conducts a survey to find out more about the reasons behind these moves. A leading motivation behind these migration patterns across all regions is a career change, as the survey showed approximately one out of every two people who moved in the past year moved for a new job or company transfer. Other reasons for the high percentage of moves to the Mountain West in 2018 include retirement (28.1 percent), proximity to family (20.8 percent) and lifestyle change (19.4 percent). Compared to all other states, Idaho saw the largest influx of new residents desiring a lifestyle change (25.95 percent), and more people flocked to New Mexico for retirement than any other state (42.74 percent.

New Jersey (66.8 percent), which has ranked in the top 10 for the past 10 years, moved up one spot on the outbound list to No. 1. New additions to the 2018 top outbound list include Iowa (55.5 percent), Montana (55 percent) and Michigan (55 percent).

A Veterans Day Message from Bergen County Executive Kathleen A. Donovan

A Veterans Day Message from Bergen County Executive Kathleen A. Donovan

Each year at this time I struggle to find the words that will appropriately reflect the deep respect and admiration I hold for our U.S. military veterans..

There are, I have come to learn,  no words that can adequately reflect our gratitude and repay the debt we collectively owe to the men and women who served in the U.S Armed Forces and continue to serve us to this day.

The simplest and best words I can come up with to commemorate this day are simply to say to our veterans: Thank You.

Thank you for your sacrifice and your commitment to your country. Thank you for your bravery on the battlefield; thank you for putting your lives on the line and your personal lives on hold while you protected America’s interest around the globe.  And thank you for giving us the freest nation on earth – the shining beacon of hope for the rest of the world.

For the past 240 years, beginning when our colonialist first embraced the fight for liberty, Americans have made an unwavering commitment to freedom and a pledge to fight tyranny wherever it exists in the world. When the call to arms has come, American men and women have answered, willingly and unselfishly.

The unique American commitment to Liberty has never waned, no matter what the price. And the price has been steep for many individuals and their families.

Millions of American families have been heartbroken by the loss of a loved one who fought and died in uniform —  and millions more have been forced to live with wounds, both physical and psychological that have afflicted our U.S. servicemen and women.

The families who stand by proudly while their sons and daughters serve the cause for freedom deserve our thanks today too.  They live with fear every day for their children. I pray that their sons and daughters will be returned safely to them.

And so, at the 11th hour, of the 11th day, of the 11th month, we pause and remember and thank our veterans.

Bergen County Executive Kathleen A. Donovan
