I have quite a few questions about this issue and not enough room to ask them...but here's a "shortened" version of my situation...
My husband and I live in Michigan (highest unemployment rate in the nation), we both lost our jobs to foreign competition over a year ago and since then, my husband has had 2 other jobs and got laid off from them also. I am going to college, thanks to the TAA federal training program, which is great ... but when I finish college, the chances of getting a job even with a degree seems to be slim. We are seriously considering relocating to another state, but have no idea where to start. I have been searching online for jobs in certain states (that I think would be a decent place to live), but all in all, we are both completely clueless on the issue. First question, which states are the best for employment and cost of living? Second, are there any government programs that help with finding (displaced) families jobs and housing in another state?

It would help if you put what industry you are looking for to find jobs in and what you consider a "quality of life". Do you have kids in school, are family friendly places important? Or access to more cultural events? Access to nature/shore/mountains/forest?

If you are at school now, there should be a job placement program there. Check into it. Also, go to any job fairs that they have at your school.
