Not much doubt why young people are fleeing. Republicans have pulled this state backwards on issues important to many young people (and older ones, too). Climate, diversity, education, women’s rights. Why stay in a state that is retrenching when so many other places are looking forward and finding ways to make life better for all?
Can't tell you how many women I know (myself included) 1. Do not have kids while living in Iowa or 2. Are terrified to be pregnant in Iowa.
So: Iowa is #1 for binge drinking, #2 for cancer rates, # 50 for economy, and circling the drain on education, reproductive and civil rights.
It's like this admin is trying to drive people out. Maybe a state that can transition to host all big unregulated businesses is better $ than having citizens.
another example of the wrong kind of DEI --Driving Everyone from Iowa.
Ed has done the work for all candidates running for statewide or legislative offices. Ed asked: "If it was, why are the states all around us adding jobs and Iowa is losing them? and Why do the economies of other states grow, but not Iowa’s?"
Candidates can answer..If Reynolds and R's were not so obsessed with people that look or believe differently, Iowa would not rank 51st. Candidates can use this study to begin dismiss the fear of trans Iowans and migrants.
Iowa used to be first in the nation for the caucuses. Iowa writers and candidates can be the first in the nation to lead with responses to the fearmongering.
Thaks for this story Ed. It was very informative and, as usual, I learned a lot from reading it. I also learn from the comments others post. Thanks for drawing those out, too, and thanks to those who share them.
IOWA MAY HAVE A TERRIBLE ECONOMY, BUT, LIKE JONI ERNST SAID SO NICELY---WE'RE ALL GOING TO PASS-AWAY SO WHY WORRY ABOUT THE ECONOMY. IF THE ECONOMY DOESN'T KILL IOWA CITIZENS---WE STILL HAVE CANCER EVERY WHERE IN THIS GREAT STATE.

Who knew a state economy built on cruelty and polluting rivers could have a limited appeal?

Thank you, Ed, for putting this information into perspective.
Go team! (I love it). Thank you for bringing a chuckle. There are precious few of them these days.
