Yes it is very difficult. You cannot just move to the United States and expect to get a job like that especially with no local experience. As you may know, the United States in in a deep recession. 1 in 11 Americans are out of work and looking for a job. As of right now it's nearly impossible to find a job especially in Miami Dade County. The unemployment rate right now in South Florida has reached 8.1% since December 08 , higher than the national unemployment rate of 7.6%. So that means 752,000+ are jobless right now. In the tri-county area, Palm Beach County had the highest unemployment rate, with 7.8 percent, followed by Miami-Dade, with 7 percent, and Broward, with 6.8 percent. Most companies are cutting jobs right now so it's going to be quite hard for you to find a job because now you have to compete with a whole bunch of people who probably want the same position. A while ago Miami Dade County was hiring 35 Firefighters. More than a thousand (1,000) literally waited and camped out just to get that job. Out of those 1,000+ only 35 of them got the job. Recently in Davie, as many as 7,000 people showed up at a job fair opportunity, hoping for employment or any important lead. People stood in lines that stretched around parking lots and around corners, some even camped overnight just to be some of the first ones there the next morning. Now that's some serious stuff. That's how bad thing are right now. Tuesday and Wednesday (March 4th-5th) the Miami Dade College is hosting a mega job fair. Thousands of people wrapped around a block for a chance to get their resumes looked over by a potential employer from various industries. Hundreds if not thousands more are expected to show up. To get to the point. South Florida is a mess. If you think you have the time, money, and job to move here then go ahead, but if you do not have a serious reason for moving then don't do it. Check back later in 10 months and maybe things might be better.
