I see no pattern in the blue states above.
ND & MT: Oil
TX : Oil/Gas/Tech
TN: Manufacturing & Mining
NH: escaping Massholes
ID: Mining & escaping conservative Californians
OR: not quite sure... escaping liberal Californians?
NC: not sure... Banking maybe?
So either ways to make money or close to states that people want to leave?

Haha, what I mean is that the net flow in might be positive because we're talking small numbers.
