Lots of other good comments on this thread, but the Bloomberg title almost makes me want to join the r/antiwork crowd.
The housing market is simply insane right now. How is someone with a 3% mortgage going to be willing to move if it means their monthly payment will double for about the same amount of house? This is a complete logical, rational decision. But the framing in the title "Americans have never been so unwilling ..." plays right into the "nobody wants to work anymore" BS. The current economic conditions have just made it extremely stupid to relocate for a job in most situations.
