Many love Arkansas for its incredible parks and wilderness area. If you want beautiful landscapes and towns with hospitality to boot, Arkansas is your place. Plus, Arkansas also gave us retail giant Walmart and U.S. President Bill Clinton. What’s not to love?
However, Arkansas’ job market doesn’t actually give many people a reason to stay. You see, 71% of those who chose to leave the state say that they are leaving in search of better work. As a result, last year, Arkansas became the first state to require Medicaid recipients to hold jobs. Unfortunately, thousands of people lost their health insurance in the months that followed. So, they’re leaving the state, simple as that. As of today, outbound moves make up 49.7% of the moves in Arkansas.
