Will I find a Job if I move to Kentucky? 
Kentucky has jobs…
Kentucky? on purpose???? Yeah, I’ve heard it – I used to live there too… so I understand your friend’s mentality – some people in NY and NJ think they are on the island of opportunity and the rest of the country is a fly-over zone.
Here are some facts:
#1 sold car in America – Camry = made here
#1 Truck in America – Ford = made here
1 of the best-selling sports cars in the world – Corvette = made here.
Here are some KY companies:
Humana Insurance = $37B revenue
Yum! Brands (KFC, Pizza Hut, Taco Bell) $12.6B revenue
Brown-Forman (spirits) = $12B company
Ashland Oil = $6.5B revenue.
