Also, the work is bad. I recently took a look chicago's craigslist. One machine learning job. For a company in Berkeley. The majority of java jobs were in CA [1]; of those remaining, perhaps one looked interesting. Rails has a similar story [2]. Indeed has a bit more stuff but the pickings are slim; lots of the jobs for eg rails are attempts at relos elsewhere. Of the jobs actually in Chicago, a common refrain is senior and/or 3-5 years of experience. Experience which seems hard to get in Chicago, so instead of getting people to stay, they need them to move back.
