sticky state - one in which the people born there stay there
magnet state - one that attracts lots of people born in other states
So for instance - 75% of Texans born in Texas stay there. Sticky state. Whereas about half of people born in, say, Vermont can't wait to get out.

Sticky states mean people born there stay.
Magnet means it attracts people to the state... like a magnet. 
New Jersey is more of a sticky state, but not at the top of the list. We stay because of the Taylor Ham.
