(2) The individual's physical fitness and prior training.
(3) His experience and prior earnings.
(4) His length of unemployment.
(5) His prospects of securing local work in his customary occupation.

distance from his new residence shall not be considered in determining suitable work if such

voluntarily quit his last employment without good cause involving fault on the part of the
employer.
