Some people won't make the choice, sure, but it isn't a choice for
everyone.

Just for example, local obligations, a lack of alternate jobs, medical
problems, contracts, or maybe a lack of skills could keep you from
moving.

Given enough time, I suppose most people could move, but not in all
cases, and it could take quite a while.

If you need to leave town and/or have a family and other heavy
obligations, it is harder.

...and if they don't pay enough to support you or aren't hiring?
