Changing Residence for the Purpose of Employing Children

Question
I am a resident of Irbid, and I want to move my residence to Aqaba, with the aim of finding jobs for my children; because in the Aqaba area, employment is faster. What is the legal ruling on this, and does it constitute taking the rights of others?
Answer
I say, and with God's help: It is your right to move anywhere to seek gains and livelihood, and there is no prohibition against that out of fear that it may deprive others of job opportunities, and God knows best.
