Texas' neighbor to the north just won a not so cool number 1 spot. 

New Mexico is number 1 when it comes to unemployment. The states jobless rates rose slightly from last year to 6.7 percent, while the the national rate is 4.8 percent.  If you need a gig, and not against relocating, here are some interesting job opportunities to consider:

  • Professional python catcher/Florida. Not sure exactly what kind of experience you need for this but, you probably need to bring your own guns and machetes.
  • Be a Mermaid/Austin. If Florida's too far away, stay in Texas and become a pro Mermaid! Not sure about the requirements on this one either but, you better know how to swim and look hot at the same time.
  • If you don't want to leave the land of enchantment, and you're female, someone in Albuquerque wants to  do "girl stuff".
  • Snake "milker". You can choose from lots of different locations with this one. Of course, you can also choose from several different ways to die as well.

If those don't do it for you, check out the video or click here for more ideas!
