I am curious as to how the job market and economy is in Indiana? My wife has decided that she wants out of the Military, the sooner the better. Not exactly the best time for this, but she is very unhappy here. We have a house there already and I could probably get my old job back as a lumberjack, she wants to get her nursing degree so we would get her GI Bill money. Just a little unsure how stable things are there.

What county are you looking at. It will make a difference on the numbers.

Thanks Rick. eah my house is in Pike County but I worked in Dubois. Looks like mining is still going strong and pay is pretty good.

Contact the Chamber of Commerce in whatever town you're moving to or the nearest town and tell them you are relocating and ask them for a relocation package. You'll get tons of information and coupons!!! You should be able to contact them via internet.

Not sure Jasper has that it's pretty small. And I know Otwell won't. I really miss that area. Wouldn't think too much has changed only ben gone for 9 months. I know my mom was laid off but my friends all still have jobs so who knows.
