The US has plenty of flexibility in the labour market. When I hear about people moving city to get a job, Americans seem a lot more casual about it (maybe not 'casual', maybe 'accepting') - there's a lot of mid-sized cities there, and the local culture is fairly uniform in a given region. Moving to the next city across is normal. When I hear Europeans or antipodeans talk about moving city for a job, it's usually either extremely lucrative or as a last resort.
