moving for new jobs 2
Shriya Boppana (L), Julianne Elise, and Angela Harris told Insider why moving for work wasn't for them.
  • Americans are moving for new jobs at the lowest rate in decades, per a recent Challenger survey.
  • Experts say high housing costs, an aging population, and remote work are among the reasons why. 
  • We asked five Americans why they turned down an out-of-state job offer — or accepted one and later regretted it. 

Americans are still switching jobs in high numbers — but they're packing up and moving for their new gigs at the lowest rate in decades.
