From second-hand experience (hearing directly from someone who was from a place like this), I would also add Hawaii to this list of places. Although the dynamic has existed there for a long time, it seems definitely to have accelerated in recent years.

It's somewhat received wisdom that those who can afford private schooling throughout their K-12 years leave the islands for labor opportunities (outside of tourism and real-estate management) in the lower 48 (the mainland). Meanwhile those who have to suffer through the Hawaii public education system are destined to do their part in entertaining wealthy mainlanders.

Extremely high land and input costs have long pushed many innovative/nascent businesses to the mainland. Consequently the jobs created by those firms are not available to people from Hawaii. I've heard of some promising new ventures that are seeking to change this, but I'm not holding my breath that this dynamic will change anytime soon.

Note: I apologize if I've casted shade upon anyone who's been through the Hawaii public education system and found a career that suits them.
