Is it easy to find a Job in Miami Beach?

Is it easy to find a job in Miami if I'm a college student?

• I'm thinking of going to the university of miami but I'll have to have a job too to help pay for things. Is it easy for college students to find jobs in Miami?

• Answer:

  Right now, it's not easy for anyone to find a job. There are 73,000 people unemployed in Miami Dade county right now, and another 62,000 in Broward. There are also 75% less available jobs, so you need to have tons of experience, be bilingual, and willing to really pound the pavement. Miami is a tourism city, and with the economy being so bad people are not traveling down here. People are also not going out to eat as much, buying clothes, electronics or furniture. Which means that restaurants are closing down, hotels are not hiring, and most retail stores are laying people off, not hiring (unless you're talking about seasonal emplyment wich will end after Christmas). I wouldn't recommend anyone to move here right now...it sticks.
