States where people in California are getting new jobs
Jobs are one of the biggest reasons people move.

Stacker analyzed data from the U.S. Census Bureau Jobs-to-Jobs Flows to determine the states where people from Oregon are finding the most new jobs. States are ranked by the number of people from California that started a new job in the second quarter of 2020. Data is not available for Alaska, Arkansas, and Mississippi.
