More than a quarter of Glassdoor applications are for jobs outside the applicant's metro area

More than a quarter of job seekers look for work in cities outside their metro areas, according to a new Glassdoor study. In the online study of 668,000 applicants, Glassdoor examined real-time job search patterns and the jobs, cities, and companies promoting job seekers to relocate. The study found that men were 3.3 percentage points more likely than women to move beyond their metro areas for a job. Applicants were also seven percentage points less likely to move away for every decade they aged. Company culture is a bigger factor in the average respondent's decision to move than salary, Glassdoor said, drawing this finding from rating data on its site.
