Based on what I've read on this forum, many, many people are having the same problem. Someone here said recently that the Phoenix area lost 60,000 jobs last year, so there are a lot of unemployed people who already live there. Also, I have read on this forum that employers there will hire locals before they will hire out of towners, because so many people have accepted jobs, moved there, and then turned around and gone home when the weather got hot or they got homesick.

I sympathize with you. My husband can't even get a transfer to the Tempe plant of the international company that he has worked for for thirty years, and I am an RN and am finding that many of the hospitals out there aren't advertising for nurses right now. We will probably have to stay where we are if something doesn't come through for us, even though our reason for moving is our daughter's extreme allergies and we would definitely put down permanent roots. One thing that I have read over and over on this forum, and it's advice that we are definitely going to heed, is to not move out there without having secured a job first. We are fine financially here, so we definitely don't want to move and have no income and see our assets and years of hard work disappear while we look for employment that may not be forthcoming.

Good luck!

Yeah, good luck with that..

There are no jobs. I see you live in New York, my suggestion to you would be to stay there. Now is just a very bad, bad time to come here.
