Jobs are one of the biggest reasons people move. Areas with growing job markets like Texas are gaining residents, while states with sluggish markets experience brain drain as workers move to places that can support their careers.

States are ranked by the number of people from Arizona that started a new job in the second quarter of 2020. Data is not available for Alaska, Arkansas, and Mississippi.
In Q2 2020, 19,108 people from Arizona started a job in another state. Keep reading to find out which states were most common.
