“We had the ninth-most-generous unemployment compensation in the country,” McCrory said. “We were having a lot of people move here, frankly, from other areas to get unemployment … People were moving here because of our very generous benefits, and then, of course, we had more debt.” http://www.wral.com/mccrory-cautious-on-unemployment-insurance-during-

Workers who move from other states but haven’t worked in North Carolina can tap their former state’s unemployment insurance, but those payments come from the state where they earned their wages. http://www.wral.com/fact-check-did-people-move-to-north-carolina-to-ta

Andrew Brod, an economist and researcher at the University of North Carolina at Greensboro, said that McCrory’s claim “defies reason.”

…(In November), Brod wrote a column relying on census data that showed fewer people were moving for any reason. Only a small percentage – somewhere between 2 and 3 percent – of those who do move, he said, moved because they were laid off. http://www.wral.com/fact-check-did-people-move-to-north-carolina-to-ta
