Answer:
South and West
Step-by-step explanation:
With the economic ups and downs in the US during the 2000s, many people relocated to areas of the country which seemed to be doing better. These areas were the South and West of the United States. Cities such as New York, Chicago and Philadelphia became very expensive, and employment and housing was very limited. This led to other areas, such as Washington, Oregon and Texas becoming more attractive for workers and families.
