[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]There are 50 big, beautiful United States, all with different things to offer.  To say there are “no jobs” in “fly over” states is totally wrong.

And, for those of you who think people from other parts of the country should move to the coast for those wonderful job opportunities and “competitive peers,” are you ready for skyrocketing cost of living?  How about even more congested traffic?  How about increased day care costs because of demand?  
Some people move AWAY from the coasts exactly for these reasons.  [/quote]
I think the point is that those who are chronically unemployed in flyover country because they can't find jobs should move to where the jobs are more plentiful, ie WV coal country to, say, ND or even NE, where the current unemployment rate is below the national average.  You see, they don't even have to move to the coastal cities.  But, it does mean that they have to probably re-train and move. But, they aren't willing to even re-train.
