Its still easier to find a job in New York than most other places.
ReplyDeleteThis is a problem. Culturally and economically, we need some of the recent transplants to return home. The unemployed ones are probably better off falling back on their orignal support networks. But you don't want to return to local economies like Michigan and Florida that are even worse than here.
I see where California's unemployment rate is now 12.4 percent.
