Moving expensive used to be largely covered by 5he new employer. Now that reserved for executive level only.

Newport News is offering bonus + $500 for those moving from > 50 miles away. That barely covers gas. However, experienced welders are offered $5000 for relocation, plus the bonus. That's much more significant, but again, limited to certain trades and skill levels.

If you are moving a family with household contents, the truck rental plus fuel plus lodging and food will be over $10K. That doesn't get you into a place when you get there. I have recent experience in this area.
