Best states for finding a job after a bk

[momisery]

Missouri would not be one of the good states far to conservative, hubby already had the age thing going on.. now he has the BK thing. Are there states that are better than others?

not CA

[kvangild]

[Dewey]

Or Arizona.

Wow.. I know of people in CA that filed and are working, so I thought it might be different. Since hub is from there, for many years, we considered it along with the fact that his mom lives there and is pretty old now. I thought AZ would not be lived there myself, loved it and want to go back, but AZ is very conservative. Are there any states?

I have to ask, what's wrong with living/working in a conservative state?

TX seems to be doing ok in the job market--and I would consider it "conservative."

Well- i am working.. But i've been with my company for 5 years.

The biggest issue with CA- is that there aren't enough jobs to go around. Even minimum wage jobs are getting hundreds of applicants.

"good" jobs - paying 20-40k are getting thousands.

It's just a horrible time to look for work in CA. My husband has been out of work since Dec. 2008- and only able to find a few part time jobs that last a month or two before being laid off because of the economy.

The more conservative states have fewer laws to protect the employees, which usually means they are usually less accepting of things. So, I am not saying that conservative states are bad, just saying that they are less afraid of being sued than CA is or IL or CT

My boss is looking to move because her kids have asthma and Mo is horrible for mold and things. The kids are sick all the time. She hired a head hunter who told her that AZ does not have a lot of jobs, but CA is a good bet. The head hunter told her the market is turning around out there faster in jobs than AZ. I found that interesting since the unemployment rate was higher?

[DiamondsR]

Definitely NOT Washington State

[jribe]

what industry is the head hunter in?

Because i can tell you first hand- the CA job market is really tough.

I know a lot of unemployed people that are highly qualified- and just can't get a job.

Banking upper mgmt is the jobs being looked at.

[momisery]

Oh, the person looking has several years of experience and a masters in finance. Speaks 4 languages too. She is my boss, and she is pretty cool really.

Unfortunately I don't think the state matters in this situation as much as the line of business. Banking industry in and of itself frowns upon employees with credit issues. I could be wrong but that's what I have found.

Washington State has a law against credit checks for employment outside of the financial industry. Perhaps Diamond had a bad experience or the company he was trying to work for thinks of themselves as money handlers?

momisery--you might try Kansas.
