Workers Willing to Move: Labor Day is a time for companies to reassess how they
will acquire top talent to deepen their bench strength and fill vacancies.
College graduates are making themselves more attractive by showing flexibility,
including a willingness to relocate to other states to land the jobs they want, according to CareerBuilder.com. It
found that 14 percent of companies are more open to relocating employees than in
the past, mostly due to a shortage of talent. Most workers seem to embrace
relocation if it means advancing their careers, with 59 percent saying they’d
settle in another city to obtain a new job.
