I can speak from immediate experience that it is frequently not that easy. There are a lot of places with very few jobs, and plenty of people tied down geographically for other reasons. I'm not saying you can't change your employment situation, but we shouldn't hand wave that away as easy. As I said, it can be a hard problem to solve, that doesn't mean the solution can't be straightforward.

But then I would be unemployed.
