The Catch-22 of a Poor Economy

I have been without a job since the beginning of August.
I have been actively searching for a job since January.
I am still unemployed.

Michigan is truly suffering as far as the job market goes. So it would make sense to search elsewhere for a career, right?

Here's where it gets funny - It costs money to purchase a home/move elsewhere. What do you need to have to afford that? A job.

On that note, where should we go?
