How Common Is Relocation Assistance?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Job relocation assistance is common. In fact, 64 percent of American businesses offer employer-paid moving costs, according to The National Relocation Institute<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Employers are more likely to relocate internal employees who are transferring vs. external candidates who are newly hired. 38 percent of employers pay moving expenses for new hires vs. 66 percent of employers pay moving expenses of current employees, according to Zippia.com<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Other factors for how common job relocation assistance depend on the roles and industries. Senior roles or higher management roles are more likely to receive assistance compared to entry-level jobs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Tech, engineering, and health care industries are more likely to receive assistance compared to retail, hospitality, and administrative industries.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

When Are Companies Most Likely to Pay?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Companies are more likely to pay for hard-to-fill roles or specialized roles. Executive, leadership, or management positions could see job relocation assistance as well.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Depending on the situation, internships could see a small assistance package as well.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Moving across the country<\/a> or moving internationally<\/a> also could result in job relocation help. Moving out of state is obviously more expensive, which leads to a higher chance of receiving help or asking for assistance as part of your compensation package.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
