My friend tried to apply for a job at Target. They told her she was over-qualified. There's jobs out there, but for those who didn't go to college. If you have an education, the jobs that are actually hiring don't want you because they know you'll leave as soon as something better comes around.

And there isn't entrepreneurship. Small businesses are failing because people don't have money to spend anymore and taxes are going up. Mine and Dee's area is turning into a ghost-town. Cities that were once thriving are filled with empty buildings left over from businesses that were once thriving.

And please don't say "Move out" like you've done before. If everyone who couldn't find a job moved out of state, who is going to support the businesses that are left?
