>Is there something that stops American workers moving to American places that have jobs? Well, most of Middle America has high home-ownership rates, underwater mortgages, no public transit, gutted public education, and nearly zero public health-care. So yes, a whole lot is stopping people moving: they're broke, stuck with a mortgage, and would have to go further into debt to move, without a job offer.
