[quote=Anonymous]If my job were to move to Kansas City, I would quit too. My spouse earns slightly more than I do and it would be easier for me to find a new job in DC than for her to find a new job in Missouri. Our aging parents, our friends, our place of worship, the apartment we self-manage as a rental, and our hobbies and volunteer commitments are all in the DC area. I hate driving and appreciate DC public transportation.

And the idea that I'd probably have to do two moves (I'd have to rent first: I wouldn't have the money for a down payment til I sold my current house, there's no indication of where in the KC metro area the workers are going, and with my spouse unemployed we would qualify for a smaller mortgage....plus if we hated KC I wouldn't want to be tied down) just sucks.

I think a lot more USDA employees would make the move if there were more time and certainty (like the address of the new offices) and if there were some effort to help dual-fed families (or other families with a qualified spouse) get hired by federal agencies in KC. [/quote]
