The job market is not that bad in CA. I live in FL and work in CA, flying back and forth for the past 4 years, all staff positions. It is not that there are a shortage of jobs, it is that the managers don't want to hire people that are not from the area. They want people that are going to stay. It is the per diem jobs that are lacking. If you want a staff postion, and you have any experience at all, you will get one. Ryan
