Answer 1

I am sure you have considered the obvious out sourcing etc...
However I would like to offer this... White-collar jobs make up a larger portion of U.S. employment than ever before in history. Additionally, the so call White-collar jobs are of a lower position on the food chain they say there counter parts 25 to 40 years ago therefore those jobs are are as vulnerable to market conditions i.e. trends as say a blue-collar job was 25 to 40 years ago.

Moreover, things evolve as agriculture gave way to blue-collar like wise blue-collar has given way to lower end white-collar positions.


Good Luck

Answer 2

If you are asking why there is so much unemployment for white collar jobs in an area, it is because those jobs may no longer exist or be needed. This could be due to modernization or outsourcing. The reason finding a job becomes a full time quest is because you want a job and the best way to get one is to put everything you have into it.

Answer 3

From personal experience, job relocation (across the country and out of the country) and downsizing came up each and every time I would find a great job. I have been laid off seven times. First time, the job relocated to NJ. Second time, the job relocated to DC, etc. Mostly it was due to mergers and/or acquisitions. Whenever a company would buy us, we'd get laid off and the existing employees would take over my job. With less jobs to go around in the area, finding a new job becomes harder and harder. Afterall, it's not just me who got laid off so there's a lot of competition for the few jobs left.
