The long-term unemployed do not have taxes to write off against, since they are not making any money. A write-off does not help them pay moving expenses in the least.
But the problem is getting the job before you move there.
Even if I have a good job waiting for me, if it doesn't pay -- in advance -- for relocation, I'm stuck.
Maybe there's some sort of loan business opportunity using the future tax write off as collateral or means to help pay it off?
