This is an interesting statistical breakdown essentially saying that moving to the cities for opportunity used to hold true but likely no longer does for those without college degrees. Therefore it makes more economical sense for people without college degrees to move out of high COL areas, as there is no longer an income gain worth it anymore for them (broadly).

I fear this is a worrying sign that cities will eventually begin to lack necessary labor to keep running.
