Jobseekers, including those looking for HR jobs, could be incentivised to move home in order to find a job.
Proposals made by the work and pensions secretary Iain Duncan Smith suggest that people looking for work could be encouraged to move to areas where there is a greater amount of work available.
The initiative would apply to those living in council homes that could be given an alternative residence elsewhere.
Mr Duncan Smith believes that millions of people could find work under such a scheme, revealing that in the current post-economic downturn market people felt "trapped".
He told Sky News: "It is not threatening people; far from it. Most people I talk to on housing estates desperately want work but they are trapped. It is about trying to help them to find a way out."
It is also hoped that the scheme would help distribute unemployment more evenly across the country.
