Sixty-four percent of surveyed workers say they find it harder to pay for living expenses than just one year ago, according to Qualtrics. Add in commuting and childcare costs as more employers call workers back to the office, and it’s no wonder workers are willing to uproot their lives to stretch their paychecks a little further.
