High costs hindering many from going home for holiday

The cost of returning home for Spring Festival is a deterrent, according to a recent survey.

Eighty percent of respondents to an online survey by Yangcheng Evening News and Ycwb.com said the costs involved in making the trek home were more than their monthly salaries.

About 57 percent of respondents to the survey, which sought the opinions of 611 netizens, said financial concerns would be uppermost in their minds when they were with their families.
