Job market in Provo — what industries are hiring?

I'm in education and considering a move to Provo, UT. How's the job market there? The unemployment rate shows 3.4% which seems pretty good. But what does it actually look like on the ground?

Is it easy to network and find opportunities?

Coming from Phoenix, the cost of living difference is noticeable. Groceries and gas are cheaper.

If you can afford it, Oakwood is the best place to live. Period.

I work in retail and finding a job wasn't hard. Took about 1 months.

Don't sleep on Westside. It's up and coming and still affordable.

Respectfully disagree about the safety concerns. In my experience, it really depends on your lifestyle.

The job market has been improving lately. Several manufacturing companies moved in recently.
