Moving isn't always a good thing. Maybe in the past it simply represented high search costs. The only way an Okie could find out if California was the right home for them was to pack up and actually move there. You get to Sacramento and decide that's not right for you, so a year later you move to Fresno. Nowadays you go online and can research local economies, local hiring, local real estate, local churches, etc. You're more likely to move fewer times.
