California is known for its beachy lifestyle and nearly perfect weather year-round. Unsurprisingly, that attracts many residents, young and old. As a result, however, California’s housing prices have soared and so has its unemployment. In fact, its the second-most expensive state to live in, just underneath Hawaii. Now, people who have lived in California are moving out to get jobs, be closer to family, and retire somewhere less expensive.
“Unlike a few decades ago, retirees are leaving California, instead choosing other states in the Pacific West and Mountain West,” Michael Stoll said. What’s more, a CNBC study ranked California the least business-friendly state in the US, so don’t expect to see job growth anytime soon.
