I've noticed a pattern in alot of threads. People will be talking about moving to a location, many times accross the county, but they are trying to find a job in that area. Colorado seems popular. Other FJers have chimed in that they might have a connection or know of openings at their company. How about those of us out there in the market post up what you're looking for and who knows, someone may be looking for you.
Let's get everyone a JOB! (who wants on)

Southwest Wyoming is booming with jobs. Our local paper went from a half page of job listings to 4 or 5 pages sometimes. If you have a CDL there are lots of jobs. The oil/gas field is booming. Restaurants and service industries are very short handed. The railroad is looking for people. The power plant where I work is short people. The local chambers have went to places looking for workers such as the auto workers that lost jobs and have been trying to recruit them.
Id hire for tool sales in Van Nuys , California. (about 20 miles north of Los Angeles) although you start at $9hr, you can make $1k a week in 3-6 months, I make about $2k a week. No experience necessary. PM me if your interested. Im the Sales Manager so I do the hiring.

Being unemployed and one of the forum members that has posted a few times about trying to find a job (in colorado or oregon), i am all for this
Great idea Gotham!
I've already gotten a lot of advice and great info from many members on here. I thank you all very much. If you are going to Ouray, and I finally find a job out that way before then, I will have a beer or FIVE with your name on them
This may be a dumb question, but is southwest wyoming anything like north west Colorado, topography-wise?
My geography skills have diminished over the years, but i can integrate with the best of them
It's mostly sage brush with some trees in this area. The Green River flows through here and into the Flaming Gorge Res. and on down to Moab and beyond. It's the Rock Springs and Green River area. We are located approx 180 miles east of Salt Lake City and south of Jackson, Wy. Moab is approx 350 miles south. There are mountains to the north, south, and west. There are places for ATV's, snowmobiles, mountain bikes, hiking, and fishing and hunting.
For history there are several sites such as the Oregon Trail, Pony Express Trail, Mormon Trail, and others nearby. There are geographical features such as Boars Tusk which is a volcanic cone and the Killpecker Sand Dunes which is pretty damn big and has an elk herd that lives in and around them. Wild horses are around along with antelope, deer, and other animals.
There are areas of fossils and places to find arrow heads.
The railroad, trona mines, power plant, coal mines, and gas/oil fields are the big employers. There are many smaller ones such as restaurants, mini marts, stores, etc.
It's not to bad of an area and has it's own beauty but is not as tree cover and pretty as Colorado. It's just a short trip to Colorado though.
It can get into the 90's in the summer and rains once in awhile. Winters can be bitterly cold with heavy winds. Snow can be varied from heavy at times to hardly any and some blizzards.

Well then, Thanks for the info 1/2mill90!
Yeah, I think I would be more likely to move to a forested area, rather than a desert-like terrain. I'd like to visit sometime though, and see what it's like in person. Great information, I'll definitely google that area for some pics.
