How many jobs do you need? I only need 1. Why would you need so many jobs per square mile? If you can't get a job here then that's too bad, sounds possibly like a personal issue. Not to mention you can live like a king here on a 6 figure income where in other cities you are just barely scraping by. I do very well here as do friends and family. The people that I know that have moved did so after college and it wasnt for job opportunities, it was more about seeing the world and finding their own happiness. Others have moved later in life for weather. And that's fine, good for them. I like it here. Maybe I'm naive to it or I've been lucky but I've literally never heard someone say I can't find a job here I'm going to have to move.
