Out of Work in Michigan? Wyoming wants you.

A day before Halloween, the Christian Science Monitor published an article about the lack of jobs in Michigan. Apparently, Wyoming has many jobs open to blue-collar workers and is aiming propaganda toward the residents of Michigan. In Michigan, there is a 7.1 percent of unemployment compared to the 3.6 percent in Wyoming.

Many families are moving to Wyoming to attempt to get better jobs with higher salaries. Once they have done so, they try to recruit more people to leave Michigan for Wyoming. The difference when they move, though, is that in Michigan it is a bit more city-like and has more scenery than in Wyoming. In the latter state, when they wake up and look out, all they see is plains and animals. The downpart to the fact that so many people are migrating to Wyoming is that it is sometimes hard for them to find a place to live with housing prices up and an increasing population. As a result, some jobs offer a place for the people to live for a while until they find a home.

This event is similar to the Great Depression because people migrated to places where they thought there was more opportunity. During Depression, the people nomadized by way of the famous Route 66 to find food, jobs, etc. If the people were unsatisfied at their arrival to their destination, then they would move again. Some of the families would move time and time again until they were content.
