cape cod, jobs or no jobs ? how is the economy here

Hello, I currently live in NY and vacation in cape cod and have been trying to move to hyannis, ma for about 4 months now and unsuccessful because i havent found a job yet. I am an electrician and just found out that theres no construction jobs....how is the economy there currently? any jobs? are you being layed off?

also i live closeby to a ghetto (utica,ny) is cape cod a safe place all around or are their ghettos i dont know about, drug dealers and pure scum? all there is around where i live now i drug dealers and non stop crime, its getting really bad and i am trying to relocate somewhere safe...just saw the posting for a burned body in hyannis, not a good sign

Hey I moved here from Syracuse NY. There is no work at all during the down season. It doesnt matter what skills you have theres always atleast 10 more aplicants with more experience than you willing to work for less.

As for it being ghetto, Hyannis is probly the worst but it doesnt hold a candle to anything Utica or Syracuse has. This place is a kids playground compared to them. I think maybe there is all of 3 shootings on cape in a year. Everyone leaves thier doors unlocked(beacuse its so safe) and freaks out if someone breaks into them.

So as for the job you should be fine finding one in the summer. As for the living just lock your doors and pretend your still in Utica and no one here can touch you.

thanks for responding, but since the time i posted my comment to now, i too realized there is no work in the cape in the down time which scares me because i need to be employed year round, and as for the crime i know, me and my fiance always say how "safe" we feel there, but we have decided to look outside the cape, plymouth, taunton, brockton..etc.... houses have more sqft and easier to commute to boston if need be, but thanks for the input....glad you got outta NY

Plymouth first
Taunton next

and Brockton LAST!!

(as far as safety)
