What a change of economies and circumstances ...
Part of the reason I fled this area in the late 90s was because the Buffalo economy was better than this area's was.
Fast forward over seven years later.
I've turned in at least 18 applications and/or resumes in Buffalo with no job. Some of this jobs were wageslave jobs which would pay even LESS than I made at the Cont ( which was below poverty scale as I was able to get food stamps. )
I come back home and put ONE application in for a job in which the weekly wages will be about what I used to make in a month.
I was given a preliminary interview on the spot. For a position slightly higher than I applied for.
So, just have to pass a background check ( which I will likely fail, but wish me luck ) and I may have a REAL reason to move.
