depends on the reason for leaving OP - if you want jobs - Nebraska was recently ranked #4 in unemployment - see Fox news.

if its iDEOLOGY you are upset with in your state - DONT come to Texas. we did so almost 10 years ago for a better life because i was upset with ideology in CA - i feel i was lied to on multiple fronts. i did my homework too - i researched and looked up things i had heard in the news and texas was grossly mis represented. come they said - we have jobs they said. they NEVER at anytime said they were low income fast food jobs. with that being said - to be fair to texas as a state the state leadership is Republican, but the local leadership in the major cities San Antonio, Houston, Dallas are all DEMOCRATS.

if your a drinker - some states have sunday laws when it comes to liquor - hold overs from prohibition. you cannot buy liquor or alcohol on Sunday so if you want it you have to buy it the day before. I Believe this is in effect for Utah, and some of the deep south states though i couldnt tell you exactly which ones. makes sense in states with a heavy religious bent.

the east coast states are mostly Democrat held - Massachusetts, Rhode Island, New York and have heavy Gun Control laws.
