Although Cleveland and Columbus now have the same unemployment rates at 3.9 percent, Cleveland entered the Great Recession much more quickly than Columbus and its unemployment rate stayed elevated much longer. The Cleveland unemployment rate was still 1.8 percent higher than Columbus in Feb. of 2014.

If the Cleveland and Columbus unemployment rates now stay relatively equal, it will be interesting to see what happens to that migration amount in future five-year periods.
I am not sure it is just about unemployment rates. It takes longer, but you can also track county to county migration for several periods. If you add up all the metro counties for each, Cleveland has been the leading domestic migration origin for Columbus for a while now. Perhaps that won't always be the case as you say, but I think there are more factors at play than unemployment alone.

Posted this on the city vs city forum, but relevant here too: Cleveland has an insane number of people who don't work. Because of how unemployment rates are defined (not accounting for dropping out of the workforce, being only one example of many).
