Agreed. In this area anyone who lives within 25 miles of the job site--although that depends on exactly where the job site is and the traffic conditions to get there. 25 miles to the south is a 25 minute ride. 25 miles to the east is an hour ride.
More and more cities think of it as someone in their city that pays taxes when talking to empoters within their city.Many cities insist on a clause in teh contrct that say the company wioll make every effort to employ peopleliving in te city when signing contracts.Some times empoyers get the message as or no contract agin if we can help it.
Actually, my definition of a local applicant is someone who can get to work without relocating or the company having to pay for relocation. It doesn't need to be in the same city or state, since plenty of people from NJ work in NYC and vice versa, but is considered local.
I have a friend that lives in PA, and used to working in downtown - 2hrs commute each way. For me, I wouldn't quite call that local, but he was in the office every morning at 8am, so it was a local hire in the companies eyes.

Yes, but some employers won't look at your application if they see you're from out of state. I don't see what the big deal of relocating is. If the company doesn't want to pay for it then all it has to do is list "relocation assistance unavailable" if they post the job availability online. That puts the financial burden on the applicant. Most people want to move closer to their jobs.

Historically applicants that need to relocate need a lot more time before they can begin working.
