“The economy will recover faster if workers are willing to seek out and seize distant opportunities”
If the people need stimulus, then they need stimulation to pack and move to the parts of the country where the jobs are. Good luck getting Democrats to embrace this idea, because if the people move, they will be left all alone in these economic dead zones.
“Demographers say Americans are more rooted, less mobile than ever — despite conventional wisdom. But the economy will recover faster if workers are willing to seek out and seize distant opportunities. And despite the pain of relocation, many of the unemployed will recover lost happiness quicker if they recover a little of that lost spirit of American mobility. Jobward, ho!” - Marketplace Org
