For the record, the state-by-state U.S. unemployment rates for September were released yesterday, and South Dakota has the second lowest unemployment rate. (North Dakota has the lowest.) Iowa's unemployment rate is well below the U.S. national average.
To the original poster: McMaster-Carr (in the near western suburbs of Chicago) may still be looking to fill a z/OS System Programmer vacancy, with relocation assistance likely available. There was a post to IBM-MAIN about that, but you can find McMaster-Carr here: http://www.mcmaster.com Click on the Careers link at the bottom for contact information. They also have primary distribution centers in Los Angeles, Cleveland, Atlanta, and New Jersey. Perhaps it would be possible to work in one of those cities, physically remote from their mainframe and Chicago office. But I can't speak for McMaster-Carr, obviously.: - - - - - Timothy Sipples IBM Consulting Enterprise Software Architect Based in Tokyo, Serving IBM Japan / Asia-Pacific E-Mail: [email protected] ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to [email protected] with the message: GET IBM-MAIN INFO Search the archives at http://bama.ua.edu/archives/ibm-main.html
