Economy could lead to moving

Our economy right now, it really bad for us blue collar workers.  My hubby busts his butt everyday and seems like no matter how much we try to get ahead, a curve comes along and makes us take a detour.  My hubby is seriously considering relocating to another state and has been looking at Wilmington real estate sales.  What worries me is the way our economy is and how hard it may be to sell our house to relocate.  I love to move, as I really am not happy here where we are, but at the same time, after working for the same company for over twenty years, that is a very scary step!
