I am from Upstate NY and will be graduating in spring with a degree in accounting. In order to get a decent job in my field, it looks like I will have to relocate. Any suggestions on what cities to look into or what cities still may have some accounting jobs given the bleak economic times? The only accounting jobs I seem to find in Upstate for a relatively entry level position are bookkeeper positions, and I have already been a bookkeeper. I am young and single, so I do not need to worry about a family. Thanks.
Tornado Alley, better have hundreds of dollars on you to pay for renters or homeowners insurance if you decide to move to Texas. If you think floodplain insurance is expensive, try tornado insurance.
I heard good things about Boise, ID and Louisville, KY, as I have Indianapolis but have not checked myself. I would go into a career site for accounting and not limit geographical areas. See where most of the jobs are and compare the pay, if available, against Salary.com or other similar sites. You are lucky to be so mobile. Best of luck to you.

It is really not that bad. Especially when the average home is only 150k. Also you pay no state income tax, so it balances out.

I'd suggest the OP go wherever he finds a suitable job. It's only a first job, and it doesn't have to be forever.
I think it's silly not to move somewhere because there are tornadoes. As frightening as they are, they affect a small area for a brief amount of time. It's hardly a reason to depopulate the whole center of the U.S. or not to move there.
Now, the Gulf Coast... that's another story regarding hurricanes.
I do think the OP would do best to take the best first job he finds, preferably in an area with a developed enough economy to have another job choice in the future.

Not to mention that nearly every area has its natural disasters. You just have to prepare for those disasters.

Yeh, there is at least one tornado a day going by my house
