Frozen in Place: Americans are Moving at the Lowest Rate on Record
When you read that statement, what comes across your mind? I can tell you this, many of the openings I am working on require relocation and the time to fill gets longer and longer. I've read two articles recently regarding the lack of relocation for work. Let me share a few nuggets with you:
1. For the first time ever (Census began in 1947), less than 10% of Americans moved in the year ending in March
2. Family issues/ties continue to lead the way as the reason for the decline
3. Spouse/Partner employment remains near the highest levels recorded since the turn of the century.
