I wouldn't head south into Florida, unless you are looking for a really good deal on a home.

Permit applications here in SW Florida are at a 10 year low. Meaning, we haven't seen this rate of construction since the late 1990's just before the big boom in our area. Most of the "old timers" in this area say its worse than the recession in the 70's.

I am still optimistic...

Stay as far from Detroit as possible.

Northern VA, MD, DC metro area is pretty good on commercial side but not too many houses which I'm sure is the norm around the country.

I'm down here in the Biloxi-Gulfport area and it's the slowest its ever been. It's not totally shut down however so I'm still treading water until I hit land again.

It definately sucks though especially after having wired over 100 houses between Oct.07 and June 08. The first 3 years after Katrina were really banging too.

Stay away from Massachusetts.

Now Bob, how can you say that about your beloved state? :wink:

I spoke with the mayor of Punkin' Center and he claims "No work" there either.

The oil and gas business should be going strong down on the coast. I would think with some industrial experience there would be jobs working for an EC in one of the many refineries in the Houston/Port Arthur area.
