It may be better to go back to our primitive migratory responses and move to states that have more work available. a lot of people tend to stick with one area now a days and lose out on the benefits of migration.

Hi Jerry,
Ordinarily, you'd be right.  This isn't an *ordinary* situation, however.  Only---maybe---the Upper Plains states have fairly low unemployment rates nowadays.  Most people can't go anywhere to escape this problem.  I did it in Houston in 1983, but not today.  It's bad everywhere, really.

At least I live in CA now.  Not as many guns here as in AZ or NV.

Hi Lee.

I live in the High Sierra's 50 miles from any big town and 100 miles from any big city.
the only real jobs here are through public works, working for the county.

apply to public works as a floater, a floater fills in for everyones days off, it could lead to a full time job which carries good benefits and they treat you well if your easy to get a long with.

you would have to pass a drug test and a physical.


a public works floater is almost a guaranteed position because it is a position nobody wants but does pay good and you get to work different positions at different locations at different times and that could lead to some good experiences.

good luck.
Jerry

Hi Jerry,
Very good!  You have an advantage over the average city dweller like me.  People "out in the sticks" need to be more aware of their environment, rather like the mountain men in olden days.  If you have a rifle, keep it clean and have enough ammo on hand.  I'm a Veteran and I know this is important.

That's okay, as long as the money lasts.  It may not last a lot longer.  Barter is becoming a more popular option in doing business these days.

People need to invent their own jobs and stop being so pathetic .

Eventually, 3-4 million people who were spending money, will stop doing that after their unemployment benefits run out.  This will *snowball* into a 10X bigger trickle-down effect that snowballs even bigger after that.
Money?  It's running out and there won't be any in the future.  The military/political corporate machinery may try and keep things going on be declaring WWIII on the Muslims.
Just like in WWII.

My former business associate tried to do that honestly, and he was treated like crap!  The people he was talking to weren't going to give him an even break.  They wanted what he had, even if he was an expert.  The whole world is like this, which is why I never participated in the greedy games people like to play.
I'm not so stupid as to try and fight an uphill battle against the entrenched possessive fear a lot of people have.  Doesn't do any good.  They don't want to change.
