If you haven’t already heard, I released an e-book yesterday entitled, “Relocating for an Entry-Level Job: Why You Probably Have to & How to Do It.” I include a list of the top 15 cities for entry-level jobs (along with plenty of data and statistics about each), among other tips and tidbits of information on the topic. The list in my e-book is based on data from CollegeGrad.com. However, JuJu.com has its own list out about the best and worst cities in which to find employment in general (not specific to entry-level).

Do you live in one of the “worst” areas? I implore you—don’t waste any more of your valuable time searching for jobs where they aren’t available, or where you’re up against a ton of competition. Don’t rule out relocation just yet. Order my e-book (50% off through January 9, 2010 at 11:59 p.m. PST) today for more information about searching for jobs in other cities and states and how to move on a budget.

Well it's nice to find out I'm not delusional and haven't gone completely crazy in thinking the competition has been unbearably steep trying to find entry-level jobs down here in South Florida.
Definitely looking for work up north (preferably), or to be honest anywhere I'd even consider Alaska at this point.
But appreciate the info no choice but to keep plugging away and hope something pans out.
