Draining Away: Who is Leaving the state? Where are they going?

The study of more than 2,000 graduates of the University of Wisconsin-Oshkosh in 1980 and 1990, reports that while nearly 80 percent of graduates remained in Wisconsin, alumni working outside the state made 23 percent more than those who remained in the state. The study also holds that graduates in math or science-related fields were 50 percent more likely to move out-of-state for employment than other alumni.
