Why Focus on Jobs with Housing Provided?

The question has been asked, "What is the audience for this blog?".  The obvious answer, of course, is people looking for jobs with free housing! This could be a pretty broad spectrum of folks including:

• Recent college graduates who are unable to find employment that supports independent living and have returned to live at their parents' home.  (Also known as boomerang kids)         

• Older single adults experiencing a change in their relationships, finding themselves alone and trying to make ends meet on a single income.

• Individuals whose unemployment benefits have ended and are unable to maintain their housing.

• Anyone wanting to save money for a nest egg by cutting living expenses! (Retirement, buying a first home, etc......)

The motivation behind the creation of the blog was a segment on a news talk show.  The host was interviewing a woman who looked to be in her early 40's and she identified herself as a "99er", an individual that had used all her unemployment benefits while looking for work.  She lived in a town with a high unemployment rate, was unable to find work and couldn't afford to relocate to look for a job.  She knew that if there wasn't some miraculous intervention soon that she would be evicted from her home, lose her deposits and have absolutely nowhere to turn.  The panic and fear in this woman's face left an impression. She was literally counting down the days until she would be forced to the streets.  Within a two year period she would go from being an office manager to a homeless person living in her car.  That woman is why this blog is being written.  There are live in job opportunities for everyone and often the employer will pay for relocation.  But you have to know where to look for these jobs and what magical keywords will help you filter through the massive job boards to get to the employers with live in job opportunities.  The new job board will be a tool that  makes it easier to locate just the right job because it will only post jobs with housing.  Meanwhile, this blog will provide information and resources for those that are looking for JobsWithHousing and the Twitter feed will offer a daily job posting, please feel free to follow us @jobswithhousing or look over the recent tweets of available jobs.
