I may be relocating to the Philly area in late July early August. The determining factor will be of I have a job lined up once I get there. Any ideas
what the job market looks like and what types of places are hiring? I have a bachelors degree and I'm currently working a manufacturing job. I have
experience in office work as well. Any help would be appreciated.

damn man good luck
Winter will be a lot different than that of texas

Yeah I know winter is going to suck. My girlfriend got int a grad school program up there so I'm trying to figure out how I'll be able to make it up
there.

Look for jobs in NYC as well. It's an easy commute by train. Good luck.

Philly rules, because I live on the outskirts.
You'll find something.
The winters these last 2 years have been easy.

I haven't lived in Philadelphia since 2006 but I can tell you this. Wherever you end up living, be wary of any job that would result in you commuting
on Route 76 (the Schuylkill Expressway). It is a parking lot during rush hour (in both directions). I wasted way too many hours commuting in and out
of the city 5 days a week.

yeah good point Necro.

hahaha, yeah, commuting on 76 has got to suck. so glad i haven't had to do it.
what did you go to school for? you on linkedin? If not, get on it. start checking sites like phillyjobs.com, indeed.com, linkedin.com, etc.

with that area?

Nice area. East Falls is right next to it. I spent alot of time in a bar called Murphy's there.
