Yes, it is a very tough market. I have been out of work over a year, just got an offer last Thursday. Thank God!
I would encourage him to pray, and continue to look. A suggestion, if he has a company that he would like to work for, volunteer for that company. That is what helped me get my job.

Any of you having trouble? I have never seen anything like this in a big town! And yes, he more than meets the requirements and is not asking for a huge salary because we already know that here is less than Florida.
I have been here in Charlotte for 7 years and unemployed for almost 4. I have never had a problem getting a job until I came here. What gives? Looks like after the new year I will have to relocate. You can not make it here without a job.

This is akin to those who quote today's food prices in Charlotte then say "Food was cheaper when I lived in _____ 5 years ago".

Once again I am curious as to why people move somewhere without getting a job first or at least getting an honest vibe for the job market? NC's unemployment rate is #5 in the US!

I'm not sure people who want to relocate here really truly understand just how hard it is to find a job here. They may think it's the Promised Land and don't realize there are not enough jobs to go around.
