'Pedestrian' Voting

We've often posted about Americans voting with their feet, moving to places with better conditions and politics. Less often we've talked about employers moving to states that are more welcoming. Power Line's Steven Hayward has FedGov charts, the first shows firms moving.

In this chart, note the prevalence of Republican states toward the top of the chart, and of Democrat states toward the bottom of the chart.
