Over 7 in 10 Irish workers have thought about moving to a different county for work.
A new Jobs.ie survey shows most would choose Galway (48%) followed by Cork (40%).
A third want to live in the capital to work, while 16 per cent said they would choose Waterford.
The research discovered staff no longer want to work for a specific company, but are prioritising quality of life.
Jobs.ie General Manager is Christopher Paye says Waterford is becoming a popular choice:
"16% of those surveyed said they would move to Waterford, which is actually a fairly substantial amount seeing as it's not one of the major cities, but 40% of those people said they would leave Dublin to move to Waterford. I think that's really interesting so for employers they just need to think more about how can they attract those people down now."
