Asylum or work-permits in Switzerland?

Hello all, I permanently moved to Europe (currently near Schaffhausen CH), and I needed to ask the forum how is it easiest for a US Citizen to obtain a work-permit if one is not highly educated? Is der Schweiz any easier than Germany? Are there gainful jobs that the Swiss don't want which an American will likely be approved for? Here in Germany I have 4 job offers but its taking much too long for my new work-permit change to be approved or denied, and the Companies who want me will not wait that long. 4 weeks ago I applied for an Electriker arbeitserlaubnis and I have heard nothing.

Are there certain Regions that often give Americans a better chance at a new work-permit than other Regions?

Does anyone know any Americans (without permanent Residency) doing simpler type jobs with little or no work-permit problems anywhere in the EU? In what EU Country can a foreigner utilize Temp-Agencies or similar private Job Service offices?

(Please don't laugh) but I even thought of applying for Asylum from the criminally oppressive, failed Us. Does anyone have any positive comments or advice on this? I was also born in France (but not of EU parents) and people who know & believe my personal situation have been trying to contact the Town Hall where I was born on my behalf, to no avail. **{is there a better internet forum to discuss these matters in?}**

I would greatly appreciate anyone's positive advice (but please no sales pitches for services). Thanks!
