(d) Moving to an Area with Fewer Job Opportunities
A claimant who, after becoming unemployed, moves to a place with fewer employment opportunities, is restricting his or her chances of employment. Claimants in this situation will be given a certain period of time in which to explore the new labor market, but will then be required to broaden their job search to other geographic locations.
