William Frey, a demographer at the Brookings Institution, stated, "We are pretty much a nonmobile society," highlighting the significant decline in moving trends over the decades.
Charlie Dougherty, a senior economist at Wells Fargo, explained the challenges couples face: "Finding two new jobs is a whole lot more challenging than just finding one," impacting mobility rates.
Economist Jed Kolko noted the pandemic's influence, saying, "The increase in remote work makes it easier for some people to stay put while finding a new job."
Kolko also emphasized the housing market's constraints: "The big decline in mobility that we've seen...is a decline in shorter-distance moves...more about housing than about job opportunities."
