What % of people move cities?

I've been thinking about this a lot

I live in the same metro area that I grew up in. Not as big as NYC, I'd say one tier below in size
Seems like most people I work with didn't grow up here, they moved. And most people I grew up with or went to school with moved to other cities
So from my sample size I'd estimate it at 90+%.

Why do you think its so high? Its not as simple as job/career -- they could find similarly paying jobs here

Best lifts:
Bench press: 315x5
Squat: 465x1
Strict press: 205x5
Deadlift: 405x13 (conv tap'n'go with straps)

Lived in many different cities including Sydney New York London and now Mexico City.

I'm educated and not a suburban tradie pleb like you. You still hoping your high school sweetheart Doris will come back to you?

if its offering 50% higher pay, are you willing to pay 50% higher rent?

or do you want to spend an additional 1-2 hours commuting?

id guess less than 30% of people are willing to relocate if within an hours commute.

I don't mean relocating within the same metro, I mean to different parts of the country

Because you can't ever grow if you stay in the same place. I have ascertained skills and knowledge I could never get and would have been like the rest of the Perth fly in fly out losers in this forum.

I'm not sure where you live but I also like f**king many different girls with different nationalities. spending time in America and seeing Americans wagecel in their same city all their lives and spending their weekends hanging out with family they don't even like, Its a wagecel life. Sounds awful and boring
