Sounds like someone lucky enough to be living in an area of very, very low unemployment.

In my case, I was single and had no family commitments, so I did get the hell out of there and moved halfway across the country. My co-workers were not quite so lucky... kids in schools they didn't want to disrupt, elderly parents needing help, spouses in dream jobs that didn't want to leave them...

I don't think the "there are thousands of jobs out there!!!" mantra works in every corner of the globe. If that's your experience, bully for you.
