Laugh or cry?

I'm currently living in the 8th worst state for rise in unemployment. Misery loves company I guess.

The good news is I've managed to scratch through so far and my lease here runs out in May. I could move anywhere that had a job for me. Assuming there is any such place. I've been checking ads in different parts of the country that I might like to live. It's such a crap shoot though. What I need is another Northampton, like it was when I first moved there. A medium sized college town, that's affordable and has decent housing in a walkable neighborhood.

Anybody have any suggestions?
