How did the author completely leave out the difference in employment laws. California: you're free to go work for anyone you want. Mass.: you're free to work for anyone, except our competitors or anyone we think might be a competitor, read your contract dummy.
If you work in a specific field, would you really want to be in the state that enforces clauses in work contracts that restricts your mobility. Or the one that sees work as every man has a right to eat. Most likely, the people looking to hire you are your employers rival.

I doubt that life in New England has ever been described as "easy". Given a choice between two otherwise equivalent locations, climate has a huge impact. Imagine the same decision when the easier climate is already seen as the better choice.
