I was reading an article talking about how the number of people relocating to another state or city for a job has been dropping steadily. According to the article, the reason has to do with companies trying to reduce cost by hiring locally rather than pay a new employee's expenses to move across the country.
Anyway, that got me to thinking (I do that sometimes!) and realized that in my 45 year working life, I have never relocated for a job (unless you count being sent to different duty stations while in the Army). I have always only sought work within the city/county where I lived.
How about you? Has a company paid your expenses for you to relocate to another location? Where do you move to and from?
If you were offered a job in another state and the company paid for your moving expenses, would you consider relocating?
