The job market in north jersey is disgusting/depressing

[Ethnic Vagina Finder]

I started a tax practice this past season but I held on to my job because I knew I wasn't going to have a big enough book of business to just up and leave. I been a night auditor for 2.5 years. Associates degree and 10 + years of management experience yet I keep getting hit with the I'm over qualified. If I dumb down my resume I get offered bullshyt entry level wages. North Jersey also has the worst type of cac's (jews/Italians) so as a black man with a muslim name I'm screwed.

When I moved here in 2005 the job market was now its They got most of the employees at my job either part time or on call so they don't have to pay overtime. I got job security here but there is zero upward mobility. I done started looking at jobs in new York but then I gotta worry about the commute plus the extra taxes. I can't see myself living here for more than 2 to 3 more years.

I've visited Toronto about 8 times. Considered moving there a few years ago. I got that on my short list. I will either move to DMV area Georgia or PA. I wanted to move back to socal but I don't know if I could up and move that far after not living there since 2004.

And honestly I'm tired of the winters up north. I will do my due diligence though before I decide.

agreed. I'd say around 2008-2009 the North Jersey job market started crumbling.

Georgia probably your best bet all-around.

companies are being cheap/picky. Most of the time you can't even get an interview.
