thinking of moving south again

They can't give houses away because there aren't any jobs. Lose your job down here now and you'll be out of work for awhile. There have been so many new car and used car dealerships close here it isn't even funny. Independent shops are closing too, no one has any work. We are just scraping by and that's only because the boss takes care of me. Some of the guys here aren't making 15 hours a week. It's damn tough here right now.

Considering there are literally thousands of unemployed mechanics down here now the shops can be very picky about who they hire. The days of walking across the street and getting another job are long gone.
