TROY, MI is the maximum commuting time they are prepared to
spend each day.
"The high degree of intercity mobility in the workforce is good
news for employers struggling to fill positions requiring skills
that may be in short supply in their local labor markets," said
Corona.
Workers under 35 years old were the most likely to consider
moving, and men were considerably more willing to relocate than
women.
When asked what the major complicating factors would be in
moving to another country, 65 percent of the U.S. respondents cited
family concerns, 50 percent cited language barriers, 26 percent
said children's schooling, and 22 percent said property
ownership.
U.S. workers are less willing to spend a great deal of their
time travelling to and from work, compared with their counterparts
in almost every other country surveyed. Just 6 percent of the U.S.
respondents said a commute of 60 minutes or more each way would be
acceptable, compared with the global average of 12 percent. Only
Mexico, with 5 percent, had a lower proportion of survey
respondents who were willing to deal with such a commute.
