Those aren't the only jobs hiring, but that covers alot of area here.

yes you are right. Depends on the field. She was in nursing and looking for something related to that but it was pretty scarce at the time. This was in the late 80s in the houston/baytown area.
My dad didn't want to move because he was a carpenter and he was getting good business all the time.

I feel the people in the U.S. have been spoiled by having gas prices and taxes stay low for all these years due to the government frequently placing short-term economic gain above other concerns. Keeping prices artificially low is not a band-aid that will stick, and yet the U.S. tries this method again and again.

That's what I always bring up when people complain. I'm like overseas they are paying between 8-9 dollars per gallon.
