Americans have never been so unwilling to relocate for a new job
There’s a fundamental disconnect between how hard it is to relocate and how easy it is to lose your job.<p>The cost of moving is huge: uprooting your family, switching the kids’ school, losing your friends and local interests, re-learning a new community, getting grief from your mortgage lender or insurer, paying early termination fees on rent and services, legal fees and taxes, packing and unpacking your stuff, loading up on new risks…<p>Whereas your job can end at the whim of a boss or the slightest gust of economic headwind.
