To bad i quit my second job early this month, just got the word when i walked out to go home that there cutting back 82% of the 321 people at my work (open 24 hours). And i might be one of them. My name is in review right now, only because since i started i haven’t worked a week under 68 hours. But as trying to be prepared for the worst, I’m looking for just about anything really. Going to apply to a construction place today. hopefully they will give me some info on something. Possibly moving outta state too, been thinking about it for a while. upstate NY sucks for jobs(like any where else is different?..)/sucks in general. Going January 10Th to look at a 3BR house in NJ. maybe ill stay down there.

So you dont/might not have a job but you are going to go look at a house for sale in NJ… You area aware that financial instiutions are requiring solid work history while employed to hand out mortgages correct?

Disclaimer… I do not know your financial history/credit I’m only giving my work experience suggestions,.

the job situation in this area is MUCH better than most of the county. The unemployment rates here are much lower than the national average. Or so says the news the past few weeks, they could be lying though… I always blame the weather guys.
