A new interactive online tool created using data from 50 cities can determine whether relocating for a job would leave workers better or worse off<\/h2>\n

Are you thinking of relocating in 2017 but unsure whether it would be financially viable or how competitive the job market<\/a> is once you get there? A new interactive online tool has been developed to inform people if moving would be a positive or a negative decision for them.<\/p>\n

The interactive online tool analysed 14,236 pieces of data from 50 large cities across Britain and used this information to determine if relocating would make workers better or worse off.<\/p>\n

Architecture, building surveyor, chartered surveyor, facilities management, project management, quantity surveyor and site manager were among the jobs analysed in the process.<\/p>\n

Interactive online tool<\/h3>\n

The Best UK City widget<\/a> was created by www.Web-Blinds.com<\/a>. The interactive online tool asks users to choose an occupation from a drop-down menu and answer questions about the location they currently live in and the one they want to move to. The tool then shows a series of comparisons between the two areas, including the cost of moving, setting up home and the number of jobs available.<\/p>\n

For example: building surveyor jobs in London scored 39\/40 overall, with a 3\/49 in terms of salary (average annual income \u00a341,254), 49\/49 in terms of the cost of property and fees\/furnishing (average cost of \u00a3616,944), and 12\/49 in terms of job opportunities (38.1 jobs per 10,000 people)<\/p>\n

Spokesperson for www.Web-Blinds.com Kirsty O\u2019Sullivan said: \u201cPeople move to the big city for many reasons \u2013 but an improved pay packet is often high among them.<\/p>\n

\u201cThat said, people could end up worse off if they move to a city with high accommodation costs. After all, what\u2019s the point in moving for an extra \u00a3100 a month if your mortgage jumps up by even more?\u201d<\/p>\n
