One community in upstate NY where I am considering to call home apparently does not look favorably upon outsiders for potential hires. Apparently the old boy network is so extreme that companies will only hire people they know and are from the local area.

It all depends on what field you are in. I work in health care, so I had no problem finding work when I moved up here from FL. Got 3 offers at once. But other fields could be a challenge. The downturn of the US economy right now certainly won't help matters either.
