The job outlook here in South Florida - Miami-Dade, Broward and Palm Beach county is terrible (sux). If the government would "get out of the way" like our Constitution instructs we would be just fine.......get the liberals out of our food, drinks and gasoline!

It sucks here when there isn't a recession but it doesn't matter much because most people in this area would rather mooch off of the taxpayers. Floods of false ssi disability claims are sent all the time, food stamps, welfare, free cell phone applications. One person has applied about twenty times for free cell phones and minutes.. Not many want to work. Government transfer payments are some of the highest in the country in this area.

New York City has added several thousand jobs in the past few months, but they are mostly lower paying ones. Neverthless, they ARE jobs.

Not good here in FL. Even if you are in a field where you can get a job, the pay is terrible in this state.

About the same as the national average, but we were higher and we added 63,000 private sector jobs in the past year.

It is frightening.

reply
Linnster to Kashee 2012/06/03 02:08:03

It is pretty scary. For the first time, I'm glad I'm old enough to collect Social Security if I find myself out of work. At this point, I doubt I'd even try looking for something else.

I think there are many people who would agree with you.

You don't have to go that far - there are jobs aplenty in North Dakota.
