[quote=Anonymous]They don’t even have to move out of flyover country. Utah, Iowa, and both North and South Dakota have extremely LOW unemployment rates. We need people to move out of the high unemployment states and regions where there are limited opportunities, and into places where they can’t get people to even work fast food. Imagine if there was a job training program to teach people from rural Pennsylvania, WV, Ohio, Kentucky, etc. in-demand jobs like dental assisting, nursing/other health care jobs (radiology, physical therapy, pharmacy tech are all big ones), or network/system admin work. Then when they’ve finished their education/training in their home state, the government gives them some block grant amount of money to move somewhere where they really need workers. There could probably even be something where these people are guaranteed a job in their new state/region upon successful completion of the program.

Really these areas need to be depopulated as much as possible. They are unsafe for various reasons (drug crime, lack of police/fire/EMT in rural areas), and a strain on state and local budgets. Get people into economically successful regions and break the cycle of poverty. [/quote]
