Having worked previously for the Employment Development Department, I amconstantly researching statistics of our Labor Markets. Relocating to anotherregion or state is becoming more evident in order to “survive”. (“Likethe Wild, Wild, West, let’s pack up our bags and head out”). Manypeople are learning that location, location, location is becoming so importantand not just for our business or homes, but also merely for ourselves,especially if you are out their pounding that pavement for a job. I am sure youare no stranger to the Unemployment rates that have increased significantlywithin recent years let alone recent months not to mention. So if theunemployment rate is high that means people are having difficulty in findingâSuitable Workâ within their own region, local community or state.Therefore your trek to a new found job would be in a state that has anunemployment rate definitely lower than your national average (which isactually 5% according to the most recent data from the Bureau of LaborStatistics (BLS)).
Â
The Labor Market Info (check your state LMI under your websearch) is an excellent source to check on your local career stats.This is all the more important reason to do your research in your quest foremployment. According to the California Unemployment Laws and Regulations, wedefine Labor Market And Substantial Field Of Employment As:Â Â
“Labor market,â means that potential demand for the claimant’s services inthe locality where he or she offers them. A labor market may expand or contractwith such factors as the season, weather, economic conditions, and consumerdemands. “Substantial field of employment” means the presence of potential jobopenings with more than a minimal number of employers who would use theservices offered by the claimant.â
Â
Therefore with that defined, I would like to share with you the Top â15âBest States to find employment according to their unemployment rate starting inrank (Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS):
