That's what unemployment insurance is there to take care of, the idea being that there is another job to be had. Of course I'm speaking from a European - Swedish and Dutch specifically - perspective so things may not be as 'easy' in countries where there is no such thing. Do mind though that unemployment insurance should be time-limited and there should be incentives to find alternative employment to avoid the system becoming a replacement for paid employment which leads both to dependency on the side of the unemployed as well as eventual insolvency of the insurance system.
