Report: More New Jersey residents on the move to Pennsylvania
It appears more and more New Jersey residents are leaving the “Garden State” to make a new home in the “Keystone State.”
The Star-Ledger, quoting information from the 2010 census, reports “in-migration” from New Jersey to Pennsylvania accounted for 80 percent of Pennsylvania’s net gain last year of 25,770 residents from other states.
The report says new commuting patterns emerged as a main reason for the move.
The Star-Ledger says the trend has placed Pennsylvania in the lead for destination states along the Northeast.
