Iowa Talent Poll finds better pay in another state still top reason workers leave Iowa

A survey of working-age Iowans shows job opportunities remain the number one reason people leave the state. Dustin Miller, executive director of the Iowa Chamber Alliance, says that’s concerning because there are thousands of jobs to fill in Iowa. This is the third year the Iowa Chamber Alliance has paid for a poll of 12-hundred Iowans between the ages of 18 and 65. The group’s “Iowa Talent Poll” finds higher salaries elsewhere are a draw, particularly for workers born after 1980.
