Apparently it's not due to cost of living increases & lack of employment opportunities but a natural occurrence

North Magnetic Pole
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Earth's North Magnetic Pole is the point on the Earth's surface at which the Earth's magnetic field points vertically downwards (i.e., the "dip" is 90°). This point moves gradually over time. As described later in this article, the North Magnetic Pole is physically a magnetic field south pole. The North Magnetic Pole should not be confused with the lesser known North Geomagnetic Pole, described later in this article.
In 2001, the North Magnetic Pole was determined by the Geological Survey of Canada to lie near Ellesmere Island in northern Canada at

82.7°N 114.4°W in 2005. In 2009, it was moving toward Russia at almost 40 miles (64 km) per year due to magnetic changes in the Earth's core.[1]
Its southern hemisphere counterpart is the South Magnetic Pole. Because the Earth's magnetic field is not exactly symmetrical, the North and South Magnetic Poles are not antipodal: a line drawn from one to the other does not pass through the centre of the Earth; it actually misses by about 530 km (329.3 mi).
The Earth's North and South Magnetic Poles are also known as Magnetic Dip Poles, with reference to the vertical "dip" of the magnetic field lines at those points.
