More than three-quarters of workers in the UK are willing to move to another city in order to find a job, providing good news for recruiters, according to a new report.
Research from Kelly Services has also revealed that two thirds of employees would also consider moving abroad in order to secure a job opportunity.
Steve Girdler director of marketing at Kelly Services, said: "With a more globalised workforce, there is increasing recognition that people may have to relocate to find the right work, or to advance their career."
He added that there are many skills which are "easily transferable" across borders in particular in sectors such as "banking and finance, IT, science and engineering."
The research revealed that 77 per cent of workers who were surveyed would consider moving to another city, while 47 per cent would also consider moving to a country where they did not speak the local language fluently.
Over half of the people asked said that they would like to stay where they are to live and work until they retire.
Employers were also told this week that as much as eight per cent would use bad weather as an excuse not to go to work.
