"It's not going to be a lot of fun. Recessions are never fun"

I laughed when I read that.

What I would actually be interested in, though, is a study on how difficult it is for the unemployed sector to find jobs if they are completely open to relocating, retraining, etc. It was one of the things I couldn't understand when watching Moore's "Roger & Me" (though not the only thing I was frustrated with, to be sure): Why, if you can only pay for one more month's rent, at which point you will be kicked to the curb, and there is absolutely NO hope of finding a job in your own town, would you pay that month's rent? Why wouldn't you take the money and make a last ditch effort a few towns over, where the chances of becoming employed are higher?
