Tennessee ranked as the third-highest destination in the U.S. for professionals migrating for new jobs, according to a report by the National Association of Realtors.
Leading the influx of new residents are professionals moving from nearby states, particularly Georgia and Florida, which together accounted for 22% of the migration.
The report noted that Tennessee benefited from growing employment sectors, such as manufacturing, healthcare, and logistics, and noted the job-creation strength of Nashville and Memphis.
Tennessee’s strong appeal stems from its robust job market, affordable cost of living, and favorable business climate.
