Looking for work close to home?

A new survey by Challenger, Gray & Christmas of Chicago showed that only 7 percent of job seekers surveyed (which was 3,000 nationwide) are willing to accept job positions in different towns from where they currently live.

These results are not that surprising to me. Job seekers have to consider how the move would affect their family, as well as taking the housing market into consideration.

Are you surprised that so few people are willing to move when unemployment is so high?
