[TriLUG] New member re-location question

[Philip Buckley]

The market is the same here... in fact I am working as a carpenter up here right now. I am in the middle of a 2 year "hiatus" myself, and that's why we're heading south. Listening to the economic reports out of the govt for New England say "no signs of an upturn for at least 2 years" - so what the hell do I have to lose? 

How's the carpentry job market down there ;-)

Thanks,
Phil
