Why is it so hard to find a good job in Florida?

Florida has historically been the home of low-skill and low-wage employment.  Add to that the presence of a large retired population on fixed incomes who are not willing to pay one red cent more for anything than is absolutely necessary, and you have the answer.\nThe problem is being greatly exacerbated by the current lack of affordable housing due to the nationwide boom in home prices.\nNone of this can honestly be blamed on either of the major political parties; it's been going on for years.\nThe best thing we Floridians can do is get as much education as possible and work hard at every available opportunity to move ahead.  Don't get caught up in the stereotypical lifestyle.

That is tough because each State has its own set of Insurance laws-most exclude pre-existing conditions, such as Diabetes, HIV and Heptitis C.  If you are working with a larger company, such as  major US Corporation, they tend not to do pre-existing exclusions. It is a shame, options are few.  If you are really dead set in living in FL-not much can be offered.  You can always go online and look into different insurance laws in other states that might interest you to relocate.

Florida is nice because the taxes are low.  No state income tax.  But property prices are high right now.

first u need to move to florida ao u are available for a lot of casting calls. You need to go and get some head shots done so you can bring them with you. You also need a very supportive family to bring you to the auditions. There is no easy route to success. You will probably be turned down hundreds of times but if you want it that badly, you will stick with it.

You need to contact a mortgage consultant who is able to do business in FL.  They will be able to perform a basic interview to verify and analyze your situation, and make recommendations on what programs would be best for you.

Go to Florida, but don't expect a handout.  If you learn how to WORK, there will always be a good paying job waiting\nfor you.  It seems so simple to my generation.  How do we get this through to the younger generation when they have examples such as this guy's parents.  Wow.

South Florida is a Wonderful place to visit.. and a very nice place to live. But it's a horrible place to work.\nCrookedness abounds and the rich get richer and the poor get.... well you know all that I'm sure.\n\nWith that in mind:\n\nI'll also venture to tell you something you already know: In I.T. it's not what you know that gets you in the door.. it's who you know. Network off of you friends.. people that KNOW how good you are. Or take a few tiny jobs... Help out the real-estate guy that's transitioning his office over to wireless... you'd be surprised where those leads can take you.\n\nLast but not least... Terremark (the NAP of the America's) has some openings this week. Your background will need to be squeaky clean... The United States Military own about half of the whole building.\n\nwww.terramark.com

Libraries, schools, colleges, small businesses all need tech people.  Try searching job sites that are more local for you, like in my area the Chamber of Commerce has it's own job site for my county.  You are looking at the same time a lot of grads are coming out of school, so be patient, the competition is heavy right now.  Good luck!

Try the Florida Commerce & Labor Department\nYou might have to register: fill basic info of skills etc.\nYou will be or might be given a number to identify yourself to them.  They post jobs by city or region. It is pretty easy. Best wishes

Well I believe that jobs are out there to be found, you just have to put effort into it. As for immigrants, they dont come here to vacation, they come here to work their behinds off to get a better life

My son has lived in Gainesville for 2 years. Not been any  hurricanes there so far since he has been there, not one from last year touched them.  \nHe says its always humid or raining tho'. \nIt is a huge "college"  town with the University of Florida as the big school, so I think a job above that age level and skill would be easier to get than a min. wage job.

Because it is much easier to stand on a corner and beg than it is to actually work and earn a living. I too have had my fair share of trying to help someone who is only looking for money for the next fix. I actually saw one talking on his cell phone while standing next to the Interstate off-ramp with a similar cardboard sign. One city in Florida requires all beggars to purchase city and county occupational licenses and obtain a FL tax certificate. It was amazing how quickly those "homeless and needy" people found jobs. Sad that we have become so skeptical. But we only have liars and thieves to blame.

To get really good waves you need a sudden rise in sea floor elevation.  Florida is sitting in the middle of a giant underwater shelf... there is no real substantial change in the elevations of shelves to "bump" the water up high enough that it curls under its own weight and creates good surfing waves.  \n\nThe west coast (by comparison) gets good waves because there is very deep water right off the coast.  When the vertical column of water that creates a wave, encounters the sudden seafloor rise, it has nowhere to go but up.  This is only amplified by the fact that the prevailing winds across North America go west to east.

It is not difficult for them to find work as there as too many employers who are willing to hire them.  A lot of people believe that the immigrants are taking jobs away from Americans but that really is not true.  They are doing the jobs Americans wont do for the low pay.  Government on the state. local and federal levels needs to start being more harsh on employers who hire illegal immigrants.  A hefty fine for every illegal working would be a good start and closing down their businesses wouldnt hurt either and it is not just small businesses that hire illegals, large companies also hire them.
