In southern states yes. They dodged the recession bullet for the most part this time. Companies are either expanding or moving into many southern areas. My son in law works for a major automotive parts manufacturing company. He's work six and seven day weeks for several months now. Anybody wanting a job can certainly find one and I've seen times when you couldn't. Last time was 1982 in East Tennessee. I have a nephew who took a great job in northern Texas a few months back too. All Non Union.
I’m glad your family enjoys this strong obama economy. Meanwhile the rest of the citizens of the south are struggling to put food on the table.
