Daily outmigration in some Southern states

More workers live in some Southern states than work there, according to new figures from the U.S. Census.

Daytime population drops in Alabama, Mississippi, Oklahoma, Puerto Rico, South Carolina and Virginia as workers travel to other states for work.

According to the Southern Growth Policies Board:

"More workers live in these states than work there (the figures take into account people 16 years and older who were employed and at work during the study week). In Arkansas, over three-quarters of residents live and work in the same county, compared with less than half of residents in Virginia."
