If the word economy falls apart, cities that are disproportionately engaged in finance and especially international finance like London and New York are going to be the worst places to be for jobs in the short-term.

A little while after the initial chaos and collapse, they'll be great places for rebuilding jobs, though.

I guess, if you can live with the hundreds of thousands of desperate/jobless/starving/homeless people you'll be seeing every day.

I mean, FFS, you're talking the world economy falling apart, that very likely means 1800's London, quite a terrible place to live in.
