Just released research conducted by the Pew Center has revealed that economic mobility (upward and downward) varies by state.

From CNN:
Residents of eight states, primarily in the Northeast and Mid-Atlantic, have the best shot of moving on up, according to the Pew Economic Mobility Project, which just released what it calls the first state-level study on the subject.
But those living in nine southern states have the poorest chance of bettering their situations, the project found.
