Now, none of those members of these Bushvilles wants to pick lettuce for $50 an hour.
I'm kind of surprised that someone in the news media decided to have an article about the sh**tty job market.

"I figured this would be a great place for a job," said Max Perez, a 19-year-old from Iowa. He couldn't find one and ended up taking showers at the men's shelter and sleeping in a pup tent barely big enough to cover his body.
So this genius leaves Iowa, with some of the lowest unemployment rates in the country and moves to Reno looking for work, Reno is just north of the national average.

There are a lot of places with ridiculously low unemployment rates. link

Yes, we all understand that.  That had dick to do with my point.

(unless your point was that the numbers can't be used to compare cities in which case, cite?)

Well, the job market isn't great, even in Iowa. Yeah, moving probably won't be helpful for him.
