Is it safe to come back yet?
After graduating, I moved to Colorado to find a job. I'm working now in Dowtown Denver. Things are alright, but not great. I would like to move back to Michigan so that I can be closer to my family. So, is it safe to return? Any good news about the job market?
Just wondering...

If Denver is worse than Hiroshima then by all means come back.

It's better than it probably was when you left, but that's in part because so many people...left!

It depends on what job you do and what area you are looking to come back to. More info would be helpful.

If you can find a job, it is a great time to return!
I would not return until you have employment, but the housing prices here will probably (hopefully) never be lower. Some companies are hiring although not very many. - GE will be staffing a wind turbine research facility and corporate software development center in Van Buren Twp.
- Universities are continuing to hire at a low rate.
- A variety of "Green Energy" start up firms are scheduled to occupy the former Ford Wixom plant.

Well, I did not graduate with a specialized degree, so any administrative/managerial job would suffice. I'm making in the low $30k range here, which is kind of tight since Denver is a little more expensive than Detroit. But I hear that housing values are very low in Detroit and I would seriously consider purchasing a home there. House prices are still very high here. You'd be lucky to find one under $500k in the Denver city limits.

Then I would say, if you could land a job here, you stand a good chance of being able to live like a czar after you settle into a stunning foreclosure property that will only set you back about a year's pay. |
