Count on Jobs in These Counties

Posted on | August 4, 2008 | No Comments

Have you considered relocating to find a new job?  Wondering if moving will actually increase your chances of getting a job?  Isn’t the recession wreaking havoc everywhere?

Nearly every burg in the U.S. has been infected by the economic downturn, but some are proving heartier than others.  However, the ten counties listed below are still adding jobs, still attracting investment and still pretty good bets for finding a new job.  Note that California and Texas dominate the list.  I personally love California, but Texas has the added advantage of affordable housing, family-friendly neighborhoods and no income tax.
