The South and West are hot spots for job seekers due to lower costs of living and lots of job opportunities.

“Great Reshuffle” Goes Hand-in Hand with Moving to New Locations

As the “Great Resignation” continues, more than 4M Americans quit their jobs in October.  Many of those 4M people retired altogether.

Many others are part of the “Great Reshuffle”…workers who have either already taken on new jobs in new locations  or are looking to take on new jobs in new locations.  Many of these “reshufflers” are looking/hoping to be able to work remotely in new locations.

Realtor.com looked at workforce migration data put together by LinkedIn to determine areas of the country where reshuffling job seekers are going.  Realtor.com found that the South and the West are job seeker hot spots.  Why?  The South and West have lots of jobs in a wide variety of fields plus they also have lower costs of living with more affordable housing.
