Why Look for Jobs in a Distressed Area like Detroit?

Detroit, MI – May 10 2010 JobsinDetroit.org hosts a comprehensive database of jobs in Detroit. Every day, it's putting hundreds of people searching for good jobs in Detroit in touch with prospective employers in a variety of fields.

Already, JobsinDetroit.org is connecting users with warehouse jobs, housekeeping jobs, and certified nursing assistant jobs.

The city of Detroit, formerly the automobile manufacturing capital of the world, is now one the most affordable major cities in the United States to live in. The highest-priced homes in Detroit ore $75,000 - far below the national average. Nationally, Detroit is seen as somewhat of a distressed place to live. While many areas are indeed run-down and full of crime, some areas are still well-kept and valuable, although the home prices are still kept artificially very low by public opinion. Detroit is one of the very few cities in the nation where the average home can reasonably be expected to increase in the mid-term future.

“The cost of living in Detroit is so affordable that I'm surprised more people don't move out here," says Eric Shannon, CEO of JustJobs.com, "As a business with a long-term growth strategy, we think Detroit is a very important place to establish ourselves now, before it turns into another rapidly-expanding Phoenix or Las Vegas. The low cost of living, coupled with the new jobs every day on JobsinDetroit.org - especially in the health jobs sector - should give people with the pioneer spirit plenty of success."
