Besides Texas and the Carolinas, a friend of mine who works at the Marlboro site was offered a job in southern NH or 6 months severance (after only 9 months of employment). She chose the severance pay. |

Well that's a reasonable commute, and probably next to Rte 3. I'd take that over a severance package, since it doesn't involve moving to NC, TX, or some no man's land out in Arkansas. A friend from an old Lucent spinoff just got an offer out in Little Rock and he might just take it to retain a set of marketable skills while looking for work, in more civilized regions, down the road (a couple of years). Nowadays, I suspect that any decent paying backoffice job in the northeast/Boston area might be one's last. |

That's probably a GSM service provider under Alltel, based in Little Rock. If so, then it's a good place to build one's experience base for a better career in a more happening location in the future. Unfortunately, as being mobile becomes the only way for one to maintain one's marketabilility, these so-called localized housing bubbles (Bos-to-DC, Fl, SD-to-SF) become national in no time. I don't suspect that Little Rock will have a housing bubble anytime in the near or distant future so it's a safe place to live for some time. |

Now Little Rock's a tad off the hook for in-shoring.
I'd hope that some place near El Paso TX or the Smoky Mts to Savannah in the Carolinas would be as remote as a technology company needs to be.
As for jobs, the Boston media tends to shy away from reporting the truth but if you'd checked Monster.com for the past four years, very few tech jobs were advertised in the state, relative to the other major cities, including Philly to Chicago. Now, there appears to be a slight reversal, however, once a string of companies leave a region, any reversal would be some place hiring new graduates to fill entry level posts. And as someone said, you can't rely upon biotech to generate a bulk of jobs these days. |
