There are tons of people who can't even afford a greyhound ticket, much less afford to move or pay for a new place. I'm fortunate enough to have my family back me up while I look for a job, and I could never ever leave my family behind.
There was a story of a guy, a few days ago. He lost his roofing job in Ohio. He came to Michigan to find work. Long story short- he found 20some000 in savings bonds and turned them all in and a company in Troy gave him a shopping spree and a job. So yeah, if you have the means to get the little amount of jobs there are, you can do it.
You mentioned the construction firms that are being brought in in New Orleans. Are those firms hiring? That's a big factor. But I am curious as to how many of those unemployed have been offered jobs or are actively searching.
