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.
