But no NY Yankee fans in MY family! Son in law's a Phanatic. IF by Yankee you mean one of us, northeasterners, YES!

Daughter + son in law live in NJ, Philly suburb, married last year and looking for house now. Don't know about jobs generally but he's got a good one, for state/county agency, and daughter just passed her Occupational Therapy 'bar' exam, and has had a few interviews, so looks good. Not aware of any of their friends without jobs.
