BOSTON - Massachusetts was the only state in the nation to lose residents in 2004, U.S. Census data shows.
The state lost an estimated 3,852 people, or about 1.1 percent, in the last year, despite continuing growth in immigration to the Bay State, the Boston Sunday Globe reported.
Paul E. Harrington, an economist at Northeastern University's Center for Labor Market Studies, attributed the fall to a stagnant job market. He said the decline could be an ominous sign for the state.
Oh my. How *can* this be? You mean that the bastion for same sex marriage, headed up by those financial genius Senators Kerry and Kennedy, doesn't hold the charm it used to? LOL
