The city of St. Louis, Missouri is widely known as the “Gateway to the West.” However, it seems like Missourians are content to head right back through the gateway for some other state. Believe it or not, no amount of St. Louis’ own Budweiser is enough to persuade its people to stay. Like many other states on this list, jobs are the main reason behind 63% of the moves out of Missouri.
To make matters worse, many factories have been closing around Kansas City, another big city in the state. As a result, the metro area lost about 1.9% of its manufacturing jobs over the past year. The weather doesn’t help any either: “Southern humid summers and northern-like winters means rapidly moving from one extreme to the other,” writes one Reddit user.
