RADIO UNEMPLOYMENT VS THE REST OF THE WORLD

Ever notice when there are wide periods of unemployment in a bad economy all around that you see and hear stories about how unemployed people did what they had to do in order to survive like taking work in other fields, etc? When it comes to radio, people have this tendency to stick to their guns and sit home like bumps on a log for months rather than just get out there and try to earn a living any way they can? I wonder if it's the severance packges or periods for unemployment benefits being constantly extended or the fact that so many are single and don't have the responsibilities or whatever? How long do you have to be unemployed before you stop telling people you're in radio? Do they have a tendency to ignore the direction the business in going and assume everything will return to the way it used to be and just wait it out?
 
How do you know that former radio people are sitting home like bumps on a log? If they are no longer on air, that would kind of mean that you have no idea what they are doing anymore.
Am I right? lol
 
Some do voiceover work but field is getting mighty crowded and eventually unless you're a standout or well connected the opportunities just aren't going to be there. There are just too many doing it.
