2 Misconception: Because the jobs aren't in my backyard, they aren't anywhere. Unlike foreign nationals, many U.S. citizens do not consider relocation, due to family or personal reasons. Yeah, why can't we just suck it up and relocate to Mumbai, Calcutta or Rudraprayag where the jobs are--you'll learn to enjoy eating curry, washing in the polluted rivers, worshipping Shiva, and wiping your ass with your left hand.
Listen, chookter, it's not my fault you live in NM. Ever consider another state?
