So what does it cost to leave Las Vegas?
Try $1,880 if you want to rent a 26-foot U-Haul truck, fill it with your worldly goods, and drive it to San Antonio. (In these comparisons, Nov. 3 was
selected as the moving date.) But if you wanted to leave San Antonio (August unemployment rate: 7%) and move to Las Vegas, it would cost you only $437
for the same equipment.
That's quite a difference.

So, not only do you have the misfortune to lose your job in one of these high unemployment areas, but if you do manage to procur employment in another
state, U-haul charges you more than triple the amount to move? Wow, that really bites.
It may be cheaper to just sell your stuff and repurchase at the new place. Just pack your clothes, etc down in your car and go.
