How about looking for work in another state? Hm?
...and what money, pray tell,will these unemployed persons use to move and work in another state? For the most part FR is full of heartless jerks these days.
I wouldn't wish a layoff, pulling of benefits, foreclosure, or bankruptcy on my worst enemy...yet people do it here on a minute-by-minute basis. Be careful what you wish for.
I would but my parents are here and I need to be close to them.

I can tell you from personal experience, unless you drop everything and go, no one is hiring you from “out of state”
How do I know? My hubby has been doing it for two years. We can’t sell the house here, so basically we are waiting to abandon it when we have to. Board it up, pull in the AC so no one steals it and pray that we come back to it without it being trashed or burned.
It’s sounds like a good plan to get a job in another state. Wish we could.
NO NO, that’s prolly what happened to have OHIO go for Hussein Slowbama. All the Liberal Nazi’s moved to Ohio!
If only it were that simple...
You barely have a high school education, your job consisted of being a press operator or spot-welder, or hi-lo driver or sanitation worker or etc........ your period of employment was 1984 - 2008 and you are only in your early 50's..........Thats what your resume is going to look like.
So tell me, what does this individual have over any local person looking for a job in say, Bum Funk Texas or Arkansas or Utah or Louisiana?

I have a friend from MI who does exactly that. Over the past few years he’d travel to areas (HI/LVNV) where the construction trade was bustling. No need to stay in MI whining if there aren’t any jobs there.
my neighbor tried that. got laid off and found a job in another state. couldn’t sell the house so he left his wife there to take care of it, still couldn’t sell it, dropped the price og the house by $45,000 from original asking price.. its still on the market.
when there’s no one buying up houses, its hard to sell yours so you can leave.
Back in the late 1980’s I met a man at an RV park in Washington state. He had been laid off at an auto plant in Detroit. He said he figured things would only get worse there so he moved to Washington — where he immediately found work.
In the Great Depression it was Okey’s (Oklahoma) and Arky’s (Arkansas) moving to other places. In this one maybe it will be Michies (Michigan) and Cali’s (California).
