[Newlug] Near miss in Neenah - what's the job market like?

[gaveup at gmx.net]

Dunno what the market is like exactly, but it can't be good.  I've been looking for a job, preferably something involving coding or sysadminning but I've even gotten desperate enough to do the fast food and department store thing ... nothing is hiring here. :~( Granted I got weird hours because of classes but still when even teh bottom of the barrel jobs aren't hiring the economy has to be in uber-suck mode.
