Consider the "dot com" fiasco where investors were throwing money at anything with "dot com" in the name. Companies like WalGreens that had been around for years during thick and thin won out. Obviously many prefer steady employment. But in many rural areas people always have a side business going because they are used to the downturns. In rural areas where many have income linked to a harvest, there is an annual downturn that encourages side businesses. As the downturns hit the urban areas, there is more incentive for side businesses to occur though most people would prefer employment and, as you suggest, likely would go back to a full time job. At some point everyone who likes to eat is under duress... even if it's the duress of going to a job.

Do you think the home businesses created from this turmoil will be successful? I don't think they will. I don't see how someone entering business under duress can be successful. There will be exceptions but overall I see people experimenting with home businesses for a year or two and reenter the labor force as an employee. I'm not trying to be pessimistic just realistic.
