If you feel as if you are living in a depressed area of America and are considering moving then one place you may want to consider is Canada. Canada is a beautiful land with much to offer. Canada has approximately 1/10 the population of the US. This ultimately creates a situation of less competition for the jobs which are becoming available. Canada created approximately 10,000 more new jobs than were created in America last year. Canada’s economic recovery seems to be outpacing the US’s and there were as much as five times the jobs created as economists had predicted. There are deals on housing and real estate to be found in towns such as Edmonton , Alberta.

Canada’s unemployment rate has fallen from 8.1% to 7.9% while America’s unemployment rate has risen to 9.5%. If you are considering moving to another country which can provide you a job and housing then Canada may be a place to consider. If you are unemployed you really do not have much to lose by doing your due diligence and considering Canada as a place to put down roots.
