First, congratulations on your green card. Second, thank you for following the rules and joining us the right way. Third, to answer your question- Atlanta has lots of jobs, especially in construction, but you might find the cost of living a little restrictive...it depends.

Start by looking at the job markets online, here's a great place to start, do a search for whatever type of job you think you might qualify for.
http://www.monster.com/
Try getting into contact with an reputable employment agency, while you might not make the most money from them, you will generally find a job faster and you will be able to build up a work history that will lead to a better job later.
Other posters are also correct regarding climate, the US is a VERY big place and the weather varies allot. I live in a college town and we have many students who came from India who HATE the cold, in winter the temps often drop to 5-20 degrees below freezing. It is also a very damp climate here so the summers are very hot and sticky, if you aren't used to it you can get sick very easily.
Your initial success will depend heavily on how much money you have when you get here, a good plan will also help allot, stick to the essentials, food, shelter and clothing, everything else can be dealt with slowly. But I will say this, try to save up at least $2000 American, this will get you an apartment with utilities, pay for transportation and keep you fed until the job kicks in (you typically won't see any money until 2-3 weeks after you start working)
Pack as light as you can, don't bring anything that you will have to pay to ship (unless you can afford it) Think hard about what you really need. You can get ANYTHING here, and it will usually be cheaper then bringing it from home if you buy it second hand (used)
Look for the following places to find cheap used furniture
Good-will, Saver's, and the Salvation Army (for those that don't know it has nothing to do with the military)

We get a lot of immigrants in Las Vegas. Vegas is a melting pot of cultures. Asian, Hispanics, Euros...you can walk around any casino and hear three or four different languages being spoken.
A lot of people come here for the opportunities that the casinos can offer people who have little experience. Lots of room to further your career if you put a little effort into it.
Housing is affordable as well and there is plenty of it.
Wherever you chose....good luck.

Depends on the kind of weather you're used to, too. In February, anything in the North has hideously cold weather- ice all over the place. I'd stick with Florida, like a few other people hae already suggested.

In Chicago the place i'm from the Chicago hearth had a huge impression. the city basically burned down in 1877 (i think of) and had to be rebuilt. that have been given rid of the physique properties because of the fact the zoning now required masonry. the components has some thing to do with housing types which bills for a number of the ameliorations. you prefer a diverse residing house in Minnesota than you prefer in Arizona.

Chicago has a great mix of cultures and it's VERY easy to find good jobs here. It's helpful if you know someone to help you get started.

If you are coming from a third world country, come to Los Angeles, California. This place is becoming third world and you'll blend right in.

Try Florida. Probably the easiest state to start out in and acclimate yourself regarding Latinos, assuming you are Latino. You'll feel right at home.
