President Obama says he will create jobs. But he will also take more from those that creat Jobs. Even if he took all the wealth of the upper 10% it will not be enough to pay the 3 Trillion dollar bill coming due. Foreigners will soon discover our debt is not secure. Inflation equals high interest rates and corporations being ran out of this country by high taxes, union consessions and bitterness against coorporations. That is that sucking sound Ross Peoit was talking about. Reinvent yourself, get out of debt, live below your income. Income is your only wealth producing tool. Don't wait on goverment to bail you out, Join the Tea Party.

Anita mentioned that most of the jobs in the Yakima and Kennewick area would be in farm jobs...not so for Kennewick. Kennewick is diversified, with atomic energy production area clean up, glassification of atomic waste, manufacturing, construction, wine production, etc. The Tri-Cities area of Kennewick, Richland, Pasco have had tremendous growth in the past few years and the area is still growing.

I have 3 degrees. 1 in History, Management Information Systems, and an MBA. I have had no success in finding work. I believe there is ageism that is highly prevalent. My personal situation is complicated because due to health reasons I'm on disability and I'm only allowed to work a limited amount of hours. It has been bleak in St. Louis due to Boeing, Ford, Chrysler, Citigroup, Anheuser Busch, and other companies laying off.

Anyone know of good spots for Baker/Pastry positions??
Please don't make me laugh by saying Vermont.lol

You left Springfield MA off the worst list; traveling to Boston MA isn't a walk in the park, but it is worth it. Anyone have any feedback on Des Moines IA, Lincoln NE, or Nashville, TN.

Thanks for all your suggestions

I don't believe ANYTHING that comes out of Forbes...and neither should anyone else.

Among the best spots:
Yakima, Wash.
Kennewick, Wash, Anchorage, Alaska, Amarillo, Texas, Sioux Falls, S.D.
Barnstable Town, Mass. Are there any others? Any in california? What about
Sacramento, California? Renton, WA?
Moving for any reason, including a job, costs. I'd have to sell my house, and my mother would have to sell hers. She's been trying to, but so far, no bite.

Yakima and Kennewick are farming communities and probably most of the jobs are in the fields.

Don't head for Florida !!! Plans are for Orange County (Orlando) to eliminate hundreds of jobs and that is after closing smaller schools and reassigning teachers if possible.

there are jobs in the New Orleans and surrounding parishes and despite what you have heard or seen in the media it is a fabulous place to live and raise a family

Everyone,

If you want to stay in Atlanta and would like some help networking - please consider attending one of the largest networking groups in the SE at www.RUMCjobnetworking.com. We typically have 300 job seekers attend for resume reviews and great guest speakers.

Indeed.com has a report of the top 50 largest cities, ranked by the # job postings per capita: http://www.indeed.com/jobtrends.jsp Detroit is #50 out of 50 and Atlanta came in at #30.

Since they're a job search site they get job postings from all over the internet so the data is probably pretty good.

Tallahassee?

What kind of jobs are they talking about? There is some kind of work available in every city.

WOW! I just spent the weekend exhibiting in the Atlanta Home Show. The media had me terrified that no one was spending money. WRONG! I was pleased to see good show attendance and a number of strong leads. Turn off your television and get out of the house!

Looking in the paper for work takes about 2 minutes these days. And that's including time to sip your coffee. It's pretty bad down here.

In this environment you need to think about the skills and experience you  have and employ yourself. When no job is available, make one. Yes, we could use some American Made furniture.  Most people that have purchased furniture within the past 10 years are willing to pay more for quality.  Most of my stuff has been replaced once some things twice within the past 15 years. It is less expensive to buy quality once instead of these cheap Asian imports. However, that is all that is available.  I don't remember my grandparents purchasing new furniture and my parent's dining room set is over a 100 yrs old.  Just saying... People will pay more for quality (not the cheap looking unfinished furniture stuff) American products.

I find it very hard to believe Detroit is not on the list.

Ya'll left out Atlanta on the worst list.
