Job market in Jonesboro for tech?

Random thought, We have two kids and You can expect to pay around $926 for rent here. Average temperature is around 63--F, so the weather is moderate. It's a very car-dependent city, for better or worse. Traffic can be rough during rush hour, no sugarcoating that. It's a very car-dependent city, for better or worse.

I've lived in West for about 7 years now, so I can give you a pretty detailed perspective.

it's improved dramatically in recent years. When I first moved here from Raleigh, I was surprised by job market. It took some adjustment but now I wouldn't trade it.

A few things worth knowing:
- Growing food and restaurant scene
- Good schools in most areas
- The outdoor recreation scene is challenging

The downsides:
- Limited public transit options
- Property taxes are high

Overall I'd rate it 7/10 for couples. Your mileage may vary depending on what you're looking for..

I'd say the biggest thing people don't talk about is housing market. it's not perfect but it works for me. Worth doing your research before committing.
