Talk politics.

Sure that makes some theoretical sense if there is low unemployment and relatively easy physical access to jobs. But if someone who is currently, say, only a mediocre call center worker and would be much better suited to be a UPS driver, the chances aren't that great that such a person is just going to chance upon a local opening for the driving job after they lose their job at the call center. Who's to say they won't wind up in a job for which they are even more poorly suited? And what if they can take the bus to the call center job -- but there's no public transport to the UPS terminal?
