Yeah, I've mainly looked in BR, NO, Lafayette, Houston, Dallas and Austin. I've also looked a little in DC and Atlanta. So to answer your second question, I'd be willing to go to any of these places and possibly others if the right opportunity came along.

In my opinion, those are probably the worst places to look right now. Now is the time to look at smaller, underserved areas. There may be tons of legal jobs in those areas, but those are the places with the largest layoffs so you have a high number of people chasing the few job openings. Maybe search the smaller areas right now to find a job. Move to those other places during the next boom.

I agree that those are tough markets right now, but the problem with smaller markets is that there's not much transactional work to be had so the few firms that do it don't hire very often. I was surprised to find out how little work even a town like Lafayette has.
