When Keeping Your Job Means You Have To Move

For NFL fans, the news the San Diego Chargers may very soon be the Los Angeles Chargers isn’t exactly a big surprise. Players, coaches, team staff and personnel have known a potential change was in the works for a while now; reportedly, some people have already begun looking for new housing.

Sometimes keeping your job means you have to move. The Census Bureau reports that nearly one out of every ten moves can be attributed to changes in employment. In some instances, people are moving because they have a new or better job; corporate transfers and expansions are always contributing factors.

The More Money You Make, The More Likely You Are To Move For a Job

Households with a median income above $50,000 are up to 23% more likely to move for their job. NFL players average $1.9 million annually. The Census report doesn’t comment on that, but it does note that people in management, business, financial and professional jobs are more likely to relocate for work than those in service, sales or administrative.

Understanding Relocation Expenses: Will Your Employer Pay For Your Move?

Once upon a time, it was a given that if a company asked you to relocate, they would pay for some or all of your moving expenses. Today, that’s not necessarily true. Leading experts recommend proactively asking about relocation reimbursement and stress the fact that you may need to negotiate on your own behalf to make sure you’re compensated adequately.
