Arkansas, often called "The Land of Opportunity," is rich in natural beauty and outdoor adventures. Yet, despite its picturesque landscapes and vibrant college towns, many residents are leaving in search of work.

A staggering 71% of those who move out of Arkansas do so for employment reasons. With high unemployment rates and wages that often don’t keep up with the cost of living, it’s no surprise that many are seeking greener pastures.
