Are people going to want to emigrate in a recession?

Jed had buckets of money to move the family to LA
I have worked in Immigration now for nearly 20 years. I want to ask our readers to leave their comments on the following question.
Will people want to Emigrate in greater numbers now before the world goes into deep recession or would they prefer to see it through and not leave home in times of trouble?
and,
What do you believe will be the main reasons to justify their decision?
I am certain there is no right answer to this question but I would love to hear your views. In the last down turn in the early 90′s emigration rose sharply as people looked for a better standard of life. Will history repeat itself?
Thanks for taking the time to add your thoughts

We are still considering emigrating no matter what happens economically. After all, a worldwide recession will affect us no matter which country we live in. Obviously, the major difficulty will be when we come to sell our house but as that probably won’t happen for a couple of years, it may not be a major hindrance.

We managed to rent out our house. This allowed us to emigrate and keep a foot in our home town but now we are renting and looking around for where we want to buy. I think it is the best thing that could have happened.
