It's hard to find work here in Michigan - where is a good place to live and work right now? We are willing to relocate to any of the 48 states.

Try West Michigan (Grand Rapids/Holland/Muskegon area). West Michigan is totally different than the rest of Michigan. Plus, West Michigan has beautiful Lake Michigan beaches, lots of lakes, forests, etc.
West Michigan job market expected to grow

"This region has the healthiest economy in the state, and the outlook appears relatively rosy for future hires. That's the consensus of Manpower Inc. and its analyst, Joe Ross.
"Michigan's got two economies right now," Ross said. "One is West Michigan, and the rest of the state."
Ross sees it this way: "If it were a summer movie, we would call it 'Revenge of the West Side,' " Ross said. "West Michigan still is the bright spot in the entire state.""
Industrial market shows promise

"Donald Shoemaker, principal for Franklin Partners, said he bought the Siemens Dematic facilities, 4147 and 4247 Eastern Ave. SE, because the regional market has been strong.
"We're asked all the time, 'Why would you go to the worst economy in the nation to do business?' But that's with the east half of Michigan added in," he said.
In West Michigan, the outlook and demand are considerably different than the Detroit area, he said."
East meets west

Thank the big unions they got greedy Now the workers are paying for it. Yet the union officials have theirs. Look at some of the airlines same thing. No pensions. Unions you happy?? Place to relocate depends on your talents, experience some areas crying for people with right experience.

Don't move to Ohio...it's not that great here, either, but I'll admit, it's not terrible. Try Jacksonville, Fla; Las Vegas, Charlotte, NC; California or Texas. But then again, it depends on what type of jobs you're looking for. CNN Money (google it) has great articles on where the jobs are, standards/cost of living and job tips. Good luck.

Texas, Arizona, Georgia to name a few.
If you are construction workers or anything to do with construction, New Orleans and Gulf Coast has a SEVERE worker shortage. They are hiring anybody with 2 arms and legs right now at higher than normal wages.

jobs are leaving Michigan coz the big three are not doing well. Its better to move to a place offering good standard of living, stable jobs etc. Try moving to Indiana, Ohio, Texas or Missouri.
