I live in crappy Erie, Pennsylvania. Our unemployment rate is about 10 percent right now, higher than the national average by far. The state of PA is so pathetic that they air a commercial on TV, showing a cartoon character that stresses to this kid that he shouldn't move out West, that "everything he needs is in Pennsylvania, like good jobs, a great apartment, and no earthquakes!". Yeah, right, you need a good job first (Not possible in Erie, at least for computer technician) to get the good apartment, and we get our share of earthquakes, so that's BS.

All in all, I don't plan on staying in this state for long. PA has nothing for anyone in the computer market. I see about 1 job in the classifieds a month for computers; the ad number is 2050 in the employment classifieds for Computers in the Erie paper, and you'll always see the listing jump from 2040 to 2060 every day for weeks. It's so lame.
