Are there any large US cities (100k+ people) with a good job market?
Hello, 30 year old dude here. Grew up in Connecticut (near NYC), but currently live in rural North Carolina with my parents. I tried moving back to CT, but in the 3 years I was up there I couldn’t find a stable job. Not only is the rent atrocious up there, but I couldn’t even get an interview at McDonalds because the job market is that bad. And when I did get something, everyone would constantly have insults hurled at them & hours cut by management because they knew we had no other options. Here in NC I do have a job and it’s stable, but I can’t make any friends. I’m autistic and awkward so unfortunately it’s a numbers game for me, and there just aren’t enough people in the area for me to find people I vibe with.
Is there anywhere I can get the best of both worlds? I’ll probably just end up in retail but I’d like to make sure I’ll actually be able to get reasonable hours.
