I doubt the headline. The type of person attracted to live in the “inexpensive” cultural wasteland of the Midwest or the regressive, racist south is on average less talented than my peers in urban tech centers like the Bay Area. There might be a loss in the “low cost, (relatively) lower skill” sector of the market.
