because most people want to go live in a big city like Boston or NYC. Worcester is awesome, but if you're asking a 22 year old to choose between Worcester, Boston, or NYC, you're going to have a hard time finding people to choose Worcester. It isn't even that there aren't jobs or fun things to do. But at that age people want to live with their friends. Easier to get a group to commit to Boston or NYC than Worcester

Plus, most the best jobs in the state are out east. A lot of the people moving here are either working remote or getting priced out of the Boston area. Why stay in Worcester when you can make twice as much an hour away?
