There are many aspects a senior may take into account when considering a full time position. Some of these may include the salary, benefits, job description, and location. In today’s economy, deciding where to relocate may not be so much about where you want to live but rather where there are jobs. Careerbuilder.com recently released the 15 worst states to find work. It’s not a big surprise that Michigan has the highest unemployment rate in the nation. Michigan has an unemployment rate of about 10.6 percent. Rhode Island is right behind Michigan with an unemployment rate of 10.0 percent. On the bright side, there are 22 states with unemployment rates below the national average. Wyoming and North Dakota have the lowest rates, 3.4 percent and 3.5 percent, respectively. As seniors consider a career search in a slumped economy it may be advantageous to concentrate less on a desirable location and more on opportunity and job security.
