What Does "Top Talent" Think about Working in States that Ban Abortion?

[Meister]

Because Texas sold business and their employees……Come to Texas, it is cheaper. You will find we are an advanced state not much different than where you are now.

Gov Abbott is making clear Texas is a hell of a lot different with low vaccination rates, antiCOVID policies, voter suppression, untrained/unlicensed running around with handguns and now the most oppressive abortion rules in the nation

Gee, even with all that Ca. had to offer with your sacred list they still wanted to leave, huh?
Your list must not be that sacred to the everyday Joe and Joanne of that state. Well, imagine that

This is a very interesting study.

I'm sure that the conservatives won't believe it or even click the link but intelligent people will.

Texas and any state that enacts legislation like the one Texas has enacted, are not going to get well educated people to their state. They won't get business to come to their state and they will see people leave their state.

It's very telling, the consequences of passing such laws, people and business won't stand for it.

It's going to cause those red states to fall even farther behind.

From the study:

Data suggest:

• Large majorities of top talent support abortion access and consider the issue part of gender equity in the workplace;
• Two-thirds say the Texas ban would discourage them from working in the state;
• 64% say they would not apply for a job in a state that passed a ban like Texas';
• About half says they would consider moving out-of-state if their lawmakers
  passed a similar ban.

The college-educated workforce values abortion access and sees the issue as part of gender equity in the workplace.
Roughly eight in ten respondents (79%) do not want Roe v. Wade overturned. The same proportion (80%) feels access to abortion is an important part of women's rights and gender equity - 63% feel this strongly.
Respondents also connect abortion to other issues. Two-thirds (65%) would guess that states that protect abortion rights and access are more likely to have good health care, good-paying jobs, and a higher-quality of life v. those that ban or restrict abortion access (10%).

Majorities across segments say this law would discourage them from working in Texas:

• Women (74%)
• Men (58%)
• Gen Z (73%)
• Millennials (69%)
• Black employees (60%)
• Latino/a employees (64%)
• AAPI employees (62%)
• Recent graduates (67%)

Good luck with that Texas and any state that passes the same anti abortion law.

That study is full of more bullshit than can be imagined.

In general jobs have been moving from Blue states to Red States for the last 30 years or so. We sure get a shitload of people moving to Florida every years. Texas is being over run by top talent moving out of California.

 

[Toddsterpatriot]

Why is Gov Newsom saving his ass by campaigning we do not want California to turn in to Texas, Florida or Mississippi?

Bum encampments, crap apps and out of control shoplifting an issue in those other states?

the only way to stay top talent is to kill off any future competition

That doesn't make any sense, what you posted.
Your list is what IS important to Americans as a whole in your view.
Why are they leaving a state which should already be a utopia for them having that list?
Yet, they are leaving.

Texas has been selling itself as a destination for business
Not just because it is cheap
Most Southern states are cheap

Texas sold themselves as ……We are not that different than you!

Basically…We are not as batshit crazy as those other southern states.

Based on recent events….They are worse

Let me keep it simple....why are people and businesses leaving Ca. if it's such a utopian state in the view of liberals?

They did in fact lose a congressional seat from this last Census.

 

[colfax_m]

You mean those who graduated from Harvard, Yale, Yeshivah University, Princeton, etc...
Yes.
I'm sure you hang out with thugs.

Sure. And they’re hanging out with you because?

Your unending wit?

Get real.

Let me make it simple

How many businesses are flocking to Texas NOW after..

Voter Suppression
Strictest abortion laws in the country
Lax handgun rules
Low vaccination rates

Texas was not as batshit crazy in 2010-2020

You tell me, you're the one making those accusations.

I just did

Gov Abbott sold out the national reputation of Texas as a business Mecca to pander to his conservative base.

We will see the long term effects

 

[Staidhup]

Just shows how naive people are, Texas doesn’t need them, move, take your crap with you, don’t let the door hit you on the way out. Look at it this way California will welcome you back they need the money!

 

[colfax_m]

If you paint yourself as a capital of anti-intellectualism, don’t be surprised when the intellectuals don’t want to hang out with you.

You didn't show anything other than your sacred list, and you still didn't answer my question. You have been deflecting
and nothing else. I can only surmise that people don't hold your sacred list as close to their heart as you do.

 

[C_Clayton_Jones]

Big business couldn't give a shit about abortion access. They're worried about how they'll be perceived by those on the pro-choice side of the argument. It's their bottom line they're concerned with, and nothing else...

Corporate citizens have every right to engage in political discourse and debate, to advocate for and against political issues, and to discontinue corporate activities in states whose lawmakers enact measures corporate citizens oppose.

Republican lawmakers have only themselves to blame.

Hmmmm...low taxes...especially property taxes.....good weather, more freedom....

Yeah....the smart people are already moving to Texas..more will follow.

 

[2aguy]

With conservative courts refusing to follow settled, accepted precedent in defense of citizens’ rights and protected liberties, and Republican lawmakers pursuing an agenda of voter suppression and disenfranchisement, the people must use every means available to oppose rightwing tyranny, including corporate citizens refusing to conduct business in Republican-controlled states determined to violate the rights and protected liberties of the residents of those states.

Oh, wait.......you were serious?

Really?

I thought you put this post in the wrong thread...the comedy thread is not this one...
