Brain drain is real. I'm an electrical engineer at a small utility in FL. 3 engineers have left the state to work elsewhere in the year that i've been here, I'm about to be the 4th. That only leaves 2 in my office, not counting the managers that are all retiring in the next couple years. They can't seem to hire anyone even with competetive pay. Maybe anecdotal but if the only professionals that stay in FL are the ones that believe in 'alternative facts' I don't see how they're going to keep the lights on.
