What State are All the Jobs going to?

[RlgNorth]

We are from colorado orginally, definatly get a job first then move because I hear from all my family down there it is getting tight. As for alaska you can always find a job but...here they even kindof laying off not as bad as the rest of the nation pay is always higher but cost of living is higher to. Up here the jobs are in construction, mining, and other hard jobs.

You don't want to ask which state, you want to ask what country.We make less and less each year and wonder why our economy is the way it is.We need to make our own goods,not depend on China and India.
So far China has poisoned our dog food,tooth paste,childrens toys(with lead) and now drywall,but we continue to buy from them.

We have companies that have one plant in the U.S. and 25 overseas and we call them an American Company.They get all the U.S. perks,even government contracts.They pay Asian wages and sell products for American money.What's up with that.

I think what bothers me the most is the fact that we pour loads of money into their economy and they are a communist country. Will

I lost my job in January. Thankfully, DH has good job, and still working.

He has to go out of the country to places like Italy. It's the same thing there too. No work. One of the plants he was at had 5 people.

Things will shake themselves out, and turn around. They always do. We just got to be thankful for what we have now, and keep going.

would move to Texas if I was in MI just for the weather. A job is just a bonus

I know...... I spent part of today helping hang drywall to fill the time, the rest of it I spent surfing the job boards and looking up real estate. ACK! I'm torn between going back to school (so I can stay in my dream home) or pulling up stakes and trying it somewhere else. I hate not having many options in this backwards state.

PS, I wouldn't mind living in Texas, trust me, it's where the majority of my family is now and I was the one as a kid who always wanted to move back...... but now I'm in a catch 22... Married twice, once divorced with 2 boys who live with me n mom 50/50, and I have foster kids who I also adore. I don't want to give up anything but the only thing I can see happening is that I have to sell or walk away from my house, get a cheap house somewhere in Flint hopefully in a neighborhood where I don't have to worry about being shot, and keep plugging away at finding something...

Sigh, I am so frustrated.

ACK and double ACK. Wife lost her job yesterday and I helped her clean out her office today. Sigh... I wonder how long I can hold onto the house now

Good thing is, I saved a bunch of money by switching to Geico!!!!!!


Seriously though, With her degree, I expect she'll only be out of work for a couple of weeks or so.

Holy crabapples batman! Wife too!

Arkansas isn't faring too badly right now. I still see lots of jobs advertised for in the paper. Haven't heard of too many closings.

And it's a beautiful place to live too.
