For New York, it's actually always worked the other way around. New York is often the first stop for people/families migrating to the U.S., and it has been that way since the country began. Then New York feeds the growth of other parts of the country.
It's not extremely common for New York to attract people from other parts of the country. The people who do migrate that way (like I did) are typically college educated and come to do skilled work in an industry specific to NYC.
