Miami does it again, top five!! but of the worst once again...4th worst city to find a job.....14 jobs for every 1000 applicants.....NICE!

Worst Cities for Finding a Job in 2011 - Yahoo! Real Estate

Table 2. Civilian labor force and unemployment by state, selected metropolitan area, and metropolitan division(1)

Table 1. Civilian labor force and unemployment by state and metropolitan area

Don't move here if you don't have a job or if you are half way decent. Facts speak louder than words...

Unfortuately, that is a major flaw of south Florida in general. The economy is not diverse and lacks Fortune 500 companies.

Thats why the best time to come down here is when you have passive income in other places/states. You can make more with your money out-of-state, and then come here and enjoy yourself w/o worrying about money.


Thats my plan

Miami is located in such an strategic geographic location, but it can't seem to use that and its airport and port to its advantage. It needs to bring more Fortune 500 companies to Dade. Small business don't make an economy grow, usually pay low wages and don't attract potential educated candidates from other cities to relocate.

No suprise, Miami has no real jobs and no real companies..... A bunch of people coming from 3rd world countries willing to work for minimum adds the icing in the cake....
