West Virginia Will Pay You to Move There

[ss20ts]

I have never been to West Virginia but you'd have to wonder why so many people are leaving.

Most of the employment in the past was coal mining. It's a VERY rural state. Many of the coal mines are looooong gone. Jobs are tough to come by. Good paying jobs are even harder to find throughout the state. It's sad. Mother Nature did a great job with the natural beauty, but we as a population have been terrible at creating employment opportunities there.
