a question for my American cousins from a Nova Scotian

[Marko]

Marko, you seriously think wages are that much lower in Florida? Versus Northern U.S.? That's interesting! Hope to meet you on one of our reaches .... one coming up late Jan!

you gotta get a job first here and those are very hard to come by.....
unless you are a specialty field that needs help
like in the medical field.......
but for technology, computers, construction, hospitality, manufacturing, etc it's a bust....
so where the supply is high and the demand is low.........you have low wages.......
some people I know here have been out of work for a couple years......
we have had our share of people move out of state...
and it's not gettting any better.......Florida is now the number #2 Foreclosure State in the country.....
and we are having more foreclosures now than we ever had.........because there are no jobs.........

Cool Runnings, Marko

We live in SwFl close to the beach, you can get a room on the beach in Negril for half the rate of Fl on the beach. You can go all inclusive/inc air to Jamaica for less than most nice rooms cost in Fl on the beach. Plus it's like a whole different country, international jet setting, in about 1.5 hrs. That is only the economic reasons involved. The love of most everyone we meet in Jamaica is a wonderful thing, there is truly something magical about the place. I know; "it's irie pon de rock mon!".
