For workers moving out of Ohio the Charlotte, North Carolina, Atlanta and Knoxville, Tennessee regions were the most popular, the report found.
The First Suburbs Consortium of Dayton partnered with the National League of Cities and TIP Strategies for the report. TIP Strategies, an Austin-based economic and workforce development consulting firm, combined regional data analysis with information gathered from a broad group of local business, education and government leaders at a forum held in September at Sinclair Community College.
“An important component of developing strategies for talent attraction and retention is understanding migration — where people in the Dayton-Kettering region have moved from, and where those who move away from the region choose to go,” the report says.
Overall, “the inflow and outflow of people to the region is relatively stagnant,” the report said.
Springfield ranked first for the source of workers moving to the Dayton-Kettering region, followed by the Canton-Massillon, Ohio, region.

“Talent attraction is so critical to the Dayton region, to any region,” said said Jack Jensen, executive director of the consortium.
