NJ Politics Digest: Are Millennials Actually Fleeing the State?

September 12, 2018

A new study by the advocacy group New Jersey Policy Perspectives found that while residents 18 to 39 are fleeing the state, it’s no greater than anytime in the last 14 years, according to a report by NJBiz.com. And it’s no different than the number of people their age leaving other high-tax states in the area, such as New York, New Jersey, Pennsylvania, Massachusetts and Connecticut, the study concludes.

“There’s no crisis here,” is how Cliff Zukin from the Edward J. Bloustein School of Planning and Public Policy at Rutgers University, put it, according to the NJBiz report.
