Employment isn't super, but it isn't terrible, either. If you don't mind working in a stinky feedmill or for a farmer, you have a ton of opportunities. If you don't mind driving a semi, you are also in for a lot of opportunities. Generally, those jobs pay pretty well for the area, depending on who you work for. If you don't like any of those things, there isn't much else to do, but after a while, positions do open up with the school or at the market, and without many people in the area, these jobs may stay open for months. There's also stuff like road crew and landscaping, as well as opportunities for small businesses. BF and I are looking at what is missing in the area...there are no computer resellers or repair people. There are no Italian restaurants for miles and miles. There are a lot of holes, but who knows if they would work, or someone might have tried it by now...? The upside is, living there is super cheap. You can buy a decent house in town for under 30,000 and cheaper, if you know enough people in the area. We want to eventually buy a few acres outside of town and build our own house with the help of friends and local businesses. If you are close to the community, many folks trade service for service, or goods, (like I may give someone some tomatoes and corn if they help BF fix the vehicle, etc.)
