North Dakota’s loss of population since 1920—10,094 inhabitants, or 2,500 families—is an economic loss to the businesses of the state of more than $6,250,000 annually.

Why We Chose It
We see lots of measures of economic activity, but we haven’t seen anyone measure this in quite some time. What is the economic worth of a person living in our state? What does it cost when we lose them? What does it cost when we educate them, bring them up with our values, and then send them to work and deliver for some other place? Perhaps our current economic measures tell us important information, but the don’t tell the story to the public as clearly and simply as this ad did.
