In part three, released yesterday, of the same poll conducted by the Institute of Politics at the University of Maryland, Baltimore County, a majority of Marylanders said they have considered moving from the state in the near future even though they believe it is a good place to raise children. Those surveyed expressed concerns with the state’s business climate, job market and friendliness toward retirees. When asked if they had ever considered moving from Maryland, 53 percent of respondents said yes.
Job availability: The poll of 803 Maryland residents painted a mixed picture when participants were asked how the state fairs when finding a good-paying job. Thirty-three percent rated the state as fair with 35 percent calling it good. Another 17 percent rated Maryland as poor; 11 percent said excellent.
