I live in NJ with a apartment in NY for work...I really want to move out from this area and start a new life.... Anyone know outside from NJ/NY areas from your state is a good place to transfer from State Union to State Union where theirs alot of busy Union carpentry where I'll stay busy, make good money and start a new life? A strictly Union state, not a right to work stae...

Sorry, VA is a right-to-work state, and everybody I know in carpentry, construction, drywall or whatever work about 5 months a year and are laid off the rest.

I don't know if Texas is union or right to work, but I do know that there is a ton of construction (housing, businesses, roads) everywhere. We are experiencing crazy growth.

North Carolina is a right to work, but it's beautiful, it's growing really fast, and Charlotte was one of only 3 cites in the country where the value of a home went up last year.

I'm not 100% sure if Iowa is a Union State, I know there are local carpentry unions, but it is a great place to hit the restart button. I'm sure it's quite a bit different than NY/NJ, but maybe that's what you are looking for.

Shit I'll move anywhere right about now, but I really have to go somewhere where the work is, this is my career/lively hood. I know most South states are great for the Union, while the North sucks for Union workers.
