Historians R Us

This blog is the property of the AP US History class at Pope John XXIII High School in Everett, MA, USA. Here students explore current events in America, while seeking to understand the historical roots of those events. At the same time, students are able to carry on classroom discussions in the cyber world.

Wanted in Wyoming!


What’s so great about Wyoming? Wyoming is “job-rich and labor-poor.” The state is rich in natural resources and needs people to help develop them. For example, pictured in the above photo is Zeb Goodrich. He is formerly from Michigan but moved to Wyoming to get paid more as a welder. Wyoming is looking for more people like Zeb, who will live and work in the state.
The area Wyoming is making the center of its employee hunt is Michigan. Michigan has a large number of experienced blue-collar workers and not enough jobs to satisfy all of them. So far, Wyoming has had some success.


There are little to no jobs in Michigan, a reminiscent factor of the Great Depression. During the Great Depression, there were also little to no jobs available. The jobs that were available did not pay a reasonable amount of money. People searched elsewhere for jobs, but most of the time their efforts were in vain.
