Abstract | Better-educated workers form many more long-distance job matches, and they move more quickly following local employment shocks. I argue this is a consequence of larger dispersion in wage offers, independent of geography. In a frictional market, this generates larger surpluses for workers in new matches, which can better justify the cost of moving - should the offer originate from far away. The market is then "thinner" but better integrated spatially. I motivate my hypothesis with new evidence on mobility patterns and subjective moving costs; and I test it using wage returns to local and long-distance matches over the jobs ladder. [This paper supersedes an earlier (2015) version entitled "Why are Higher Skilled Workers More Mobile Geographically? The Role of the Job Surplus" (CEP Discussion Paper 1338).
