I quit my job and moved literally two weeks before the bank crash of 08. As a result, I ended up unemployed for over a year. It was brutal.
What did I do with that time? I searched for work, freelanced when possible, and went back to school to re-tool my skill set.
Now I have a great job and live very comfortably, doing similar work to what I used to do but I wouldn't have gotten this job without that additional schooling. If people sit on their ass and expect to find an equal replacement to their old job, they're in for an unpleasant surprise. Take advantage of the extra time you have and expand your knowledge base.
