Slate's Matthew Yglesias points out that population shifts during the Great Depression were more drastic than today's economic recession, in part because the standards of living were lower and people were more willing to move, as it was a matter of life and death:
Bad as the Depression was, it would have been even worse had people not had the opportunity to [move]. And by the same token, our current economic downturn would be less severe if people living in economically weak areas were more willing to drop everything and move to places where the job prospects are better.
