Hello my fellow Fastlaners,
I want to share some useful information with those of you who are working on building your business and need supplemental income from a side job (like a part-time job), but are having difficulty finding one.
I saw this Reddit post about 5 months ago:

If you understand basic supply and demand, you will know why it's much better to reside in a blue vs a red state. (Ironically the colors are almost flipped in terms of politics)
My experience, as someone living in a deep red (according to that map) state is that the employers basically expect you to treat them like some sort of God.
To be worshipped at every opportunity.
In fact, I recently applied for a job that normally requires no experience (an unskilled, not specialized labor type job), and the owner invited me in for an interview. He told me he got 90 applications in the span of 2 days. He even replied to 30 of them and discovered that 90% of them replied back, which means they are not bots.
They are legitimate applicants.
I keep hearing, esp. from not-so-bright people on LinkedIn and the mainstream media that there is a "labor shortage." There is no labor shortage. This is 100% an employer's market, and if you need a job to help pay the bills/keep your business running while you are still trying to get a consistent revenue stream, you will need to take this into consideration.
You'd be MUCH better off living in a state like Florida, North Carolina, Oklahoma etc. (If you can stomach the weather...Utah and Minnesota look pretty good and aren't "in the middle of nowhere")
Wishing all of you good tidings.
