Mobility is one of the cornerstones of a free market. I'm sure your grandparents would have moved to New York if the jobs were there. There's a check out girl at a local store who moved down here to be with her dead beat boyfriend. She's from Wasilla Alaska and hates this place because compared to Wasilla, this town is a third world country. Apparently there are lots of jobs and growth up there.
I wonder what other towns are doin' hunky dory in this O'conomy.
Oh, and Wasilla apparently has a surplus of big strong employed men because the check out girl is getting ready to move back there without her deadbeat boyfriend.
