It is interesting data that seems to call for explanation. Two things that have kept me personally from moving:
1. Middle class wages have stagnated while housing, food and gas expenses have exploded. There are very few jobs worth the hassle and expense of relocation.
2. If you are divorced with children, it is not possible to move very far without losing your family.

And the cost of moving must seem harder to justify for a generation of college grads with fewer employment options and a heavier debt load.
