It's been my experience that if you have a job, any kind of job, it
makes it easier to get a better one. May have to do with improved
self-confidence, I'm not sure.

I would imagine that, atleast partially, it is a factor of the fact that
that spending 6 months looking for a new job while your employed is
easier then spending 6 months when you are unemployed.
