Looking For an Entry-Level IT Position?
I read an article this morning listing the best and worst states to find entry-level jobs.
In this economy some of us have to be flexible and willing either to move to another state or even change a career. It’s not easy, I know, but you never know. It might be worth it in a long run.
My advice would be that if you are not stuck paying mortgage (or can get out of it) and if you don’t mind relocating to a different state, this could be a pretty good tip. So here you go:
States with the largest number of entry-level positions:
- California
- Texas
- Florida
- New York
- Pennsylvania
States with the least number of entry-level positions:
- Montana
- Wyoming
- North Dakota
- South Dakota
- Vermont
Some other pretty good states for entry-level jobs:
- Washington
- Ohio
- North Carolina
- Colorado
So, if I were looking for a job, I would move to California as there will probably be a better chance for me to find a job and … I ALWAYS wanted to live in California 
90210 anyone?

Though the entry level positions may be plentiful in those locations, take a hard look at the cost of living in those areas, espcially California/New York. You will have to make considerably more in those locations to keep an equivalent lifestyle.
Here in Chicago, I am seeing constant ads for technical support people on Craigslist, almost daily new ones are posted. I don’t pay attention to other cities, but if you can’t find something in Chicago, then you should really look to yourself why that is?
