Yeah, I agree with most everyone else on this thread. Studies and statistics are useless and don't mean a thing. I'd much rather rely on anecdotal evidence to disprove comprehensive analysis of the job market. I, too, have a friend who has recently been hired at a new job. Therefore, that conclusively proves without a shadow of a doubt that the reported unemployment rate is pure B.S. and that anyone who wants a job can easily get one. Only slackers who would rather collect unemployment are the ones who aren't working.

After all, we all know someone who found a job, right? Therefore, it must be true, right?

There's only one thing I don't understand: Why is it that the same people who claim that anyone who wants a job can easily find one are the same people who warn others looking to move to Vegas not to do so because unemployment is high and there are no jobs?

Why sure. And of course there is Sioux Falls SD...which would consider the average rate to be appalling..

All is not well though in Sioux Falls.

Study: SD has higher rate than the national average of people with low access to healthy food :: The Republic

Whoa! Just the other day I was wondering about the food quality in SD.

If I was interested in being employed and starving to death I'd just be a part-time Vegas realtor - I'd have a listing or two, take two years to close short sales, and make horribly wrong predictions on where housing prices are headed. Ah, what a life!
