Its the #3 hardest hit state in the looming Great Depression Part Deux, only behind Michigan with its Rust Belt. And Im not getting any work in my current trade, machine tool repair. So Ive been looking around a bit at other states for employment..and Id like to ask you folks for your input. ============= FYI http://finance.yahoo.com/news/El-Cen...od=real-estate snip California's Inland Empire, including Riverside, San Bernardino and Ontario, ranked second to Detroit among larger areas with an unemployment rate of 14.6% in October. As in El Centro, the agricultural workforce in Yuma, Ariz., is impacted by the extreme heat, and the city has the second-highest rate overall at 23.5%, a slight drop from 24.3% in September. The metro areas with the lowest unemployment rates in September were all in North Dakota, with Bismarck at 2.8%, followed by Fargo and Grand Forks, each at 3.5%. Large cities with the lowest jobless rates were the Washington, D.C., metro area at 6.2% and Oklahoma City and the Virginia Beach area at 6.5%. Bismarck, Fargo and Grand Forks also offer excellent varmint shooting nearby, and thus a market and customer base for an excellent gunsmith. The climate shouldn't be a deterrent to a former yooper. You'd yust need to relearn tolerance for shivering. |
