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 work in an industry that is specific to NYC.

Is that still the case? My family came through NYC 100 years ago when Ellis Island was still in use but now virtually every city has become first contact for new arrivals.
