Yeah, define "no jobs".

Do you mean physically no jobs, or no jobs that pay more than minimum wage?

I'm referring to places where both service-sector jobs and professional jobs are scarce.

The most ironic thing about Amazon is that the founder Jeff Bezos was raised & educated in Miami! Instead of establishing Amazon in Miami he decided to leave Miami for Seattle and the reasons why are still unknown.

The report is not a positive one to say the least....
It's hard to top Wal-Mart for mega-greed.

Can't say I ever stuck around someplace where the job market was so dismal, but I went through plenty of high unemployment % recessions up north years before moving here..literally there was little jobs if any..

it would take 100,000 jobs to pay the same taxes as 5,000 well paying high tech jobs....

lets go for better high skilled efficent jobs instead of massive amounts of cheap manual labor

Do you think it's possible to have 100,000 High-skilled, high-paying jobs instead of 100,000 cheap ones? Let me give you a hint:

Why hire? Small businesses are doing more with less - Jun. 12, 2013

Many businesses are doing more with less, and increasing worker productivity through a number of different ways. What you end up with is a lower number of "high-skilled" jobs. In situations where there are actually decent high-skilled jobs available, there is a mismatch between what the job requires and what skillsets most applicants have. That's why you end up with nearly 50% of college grads working jobs that require less than a college degree:
