That is just terrible horrible. That would scare most people off from thinking of moving there.

Maybe so, but how many are under-employed?

Unfortunately, I don't see the local economy getting better for a very long time.

FYI.
Macau's unemployment rate is only 2.8%, which is less than 1/5 of ours.

I don't think you compare Macau to a US city. The governments are not even similar.

I hate to say it, but I don't think this place is going to work out for me. I am really feeling like I need to move back to Montana (regardless of the weather) so I can find work. Living here, it's looking like I'm going to be living on unemployment for awhile

lasvegasnewbie, you need to make some connections. PM people here on the board who have jobs. They may be able to get you some interviews.
