"The answer to this question is highly subjective and there are a range of reasons why a company might prefer local applicants. They could see local applicants as being lower risk as they wouldn't have to relocate or travel long distances. They may also feel that hiring local applicants is more likely to quickly provide them with an employee who fits in the company culture. Finally, they may simply feel strongly about supporting the local economy."

I got called in and was told that they checked my trains and they seemed fine. To explain my situation, the internet webpage always says one thing as does the app, but reality is when you get to the station. Are employers allowed to check your train times without your permission?",

Peoples in the Mediterranean found it relatively easy to trade and share ideas, whilst tribes in the Americas would have found it much harder. Coupled with this, tribes in the Americas didn't enjoy the same mineral resources as other parts of the world and would also potentially have suffered much more with the arrival of Smallpox."
