Job market in Fort Mohave for tech?

Jonathan Cooper Apr 2, 2025

Great question. I'll try to be comprehensive here.

I'm a HR manager who relocated here from New York about 5 years ago. The main reasons were weather and work.

Pros I've experienced:
- Good healthcare facilities
- Decent public transit for the size
- Close to major attractions

Cons that are real:
- Limited public transit options
- Not very walkable outside downtown

Financially, we've found it pretty good compared to where we came from. If you look outside the main areas you can find deals. Groceries are established, gas is hit or miss.

Socially, it's improved dramatically in recent years. No regrets on my end..

Gonna give a different perspective here since most replies seem tough.

I've been here 14 years and I wouldn't want to live anywhere else right now. The thing nobody mentions is cost of living. It's stable and it affects daily life more than you'd think.

That said, the job market is legit. And if you're into rock climbing, this place is excellent.

Neighborhood matters A LOT here. The Highland side vs the Midtown side are basically different cities. Make sure you visit both before deciding.

Happy to answer more specific questions..
