John,
As you know, we're in Europe.
We're always been. Poland as a country is dated 966 AD.
We're also in European Union. For two years.
However we use our own currency which is probably not well known in U.S.
(majority of list members is from U.S.).
Last but not least, here in Poland we say "my *3* grosh" (approx. 1 cent
worth). <g>
IMHO we went far off-topic.

Some opinions:
1. I would *never* change my job for $1 more. Even 10% more. Even 20%
more. I would start to think about the change at higher raise. It's not
theory, I refused several times to such offerings.
IMHO if you want to change the job for $1 more, then you don't like it.
It is worth so much to do what you *like* to. It cannot be expressed in
money, but the job is part of your life.
2. Recently I hired new guy for operator position. I received 40+ CV's.
Read them all. Rejected half (even more). The rest was invited to
interview with me. Almost 20 candidates. I needed *one*. I had a choice.
My goal was to choose a person best fitting our needs and demanding
reasonable (not least, absolutely!) money. One of the criteria was place
of living. Assuming other 'parameters' similar I prefer a person from
same town, than guy who need to travel everyday.
However, in the past I hired two guys from very remote locations, but I
knew they have to relocate. Now they live in Lodz.
So, IMHO it is probably matter of choice, not a 'blind rule respectation'.
My $0.02
