How bad is the job situations in the following states North and South Carolina?

How bad is the job situations up and down the Eastern Seaboard from Florida which I know is bad, to the furthest northern states? I ask because my folks seem to think the jobs are better up in North Carolina... I hear how bad it is here in Florida. How about country wide?

I live at Myrtle Beach,SC and the job situation here is not good right now. Very few service jobs even. Tourist jobs should begin to open up in the next month or so. Wages are also lower here.

Nationwide, the OFFICIAL unemployment rate is 7 PERCENT.. but experts say it's closer to 15 PERCENT because when people's unemployment insurance ends or they are no longer looking for a job, THEY DON'T COUNT...

Your parents are thinking the grass looks greener in the Carolinas.. and it's even worse there than in Florida.. but it's cheaper to live.

Ga is almost up to 9 percent. It's just awful

Let's see what our new President does.
