On the other hand, could be on the other side of the continent, and because of air shipments of packages could get it at least as quick as the next door guy and perhaps quicker. And then factor in employers' industry and other variables....

And the variable you wouldn't ship something to the guy next door if you could just hand it to him. And sometimes, distance does matter. For instance, if a guy sent me a package from CA 2-3 day, I wouldn't see it for four. If someone from chicago shipped it 2-3 day, I would see it in two. I understand what you are saying, but sometimes, distance DOES matter.
