Terrible job market

Everything else about Junction is great but you can't make money here. I've been working as a Production Manager 6 years, IT Technician 4 years, System Administrator 4 years, Maintenance Technician for 15 years in the past so my resume is broad enough to cross over into many, many industries. I've had to resort to working in Salt Lake, UT / Denver, CO, both of which are 4 plus hours away for 5 years while looking for work here very diligently to even make a dime. The employers here do not understand importance of notifying candidates who have had an interview or even two, when the position is filled. The employment agencies here are backwards as well. They do not help with communication to candidates either. Unless you have a very secure job lined up in Grand Junction that you will be able to stay at as long as you live here then be very weary of making the move. Worst situation I've ever been in since moving here to get married to a wife who cannot leave the area so I'm stuck.
