Considering moving, looking for reviews

Hey, I'm thinking about just packing up from my home town and moving to Iowa and I was curious about how affordable things are.

If I packed up and left, how easily would a $5000-$10000 savings get me at least an apartment, bare minimum furniture, and groceries?

What is the job market like? I'm 25, with factory, warehouse, restaurant, and retail experience, are there any factory towns or any good state-wide production jobs that I could get into and start rebuilding my life ASAP?
