Americans staying put as economy stagnates
WASHINGTON - Americans are stuck, it seems.
Americans not migrating for low-paying jobs anymore.
During the Great Depression, migration was the ticket for Americans in search of jobs and greener pastures, but here in the Great Recession, we seem to be staying put.
Experts are concerned on two fronts. One, that Americans are unable or unwilling to relocate in search of jobs. And, two, that the lack of movement affects the economic activity associated with the act of relocating.
Of course, it seems as if these concerned experts are unaware that there is no magical Shangri-La where good jobs are plentiful right now … and who wants to go to the expense of relocating for the typical “McJob?”
