What's the job market like in Austin, TX?


My girlfriend is looking to move to Austin to go to the University of Texas. I'll be a college graduate (Econ) by the time we move. What's the job market like down there?

It depends on what type of job you are looking for and how much experience you have. As a recent grad, you will be competing against recent UT grads, who will likely have the "home town" advantage. But, with the state capital being in Austin, there are government positions with the state, county & city, as well as industry positions. I moved here from a northern state 18 months ago, and was impressed by the number of jobs available. Austin has not seen (yet, anyway) the slow down that the rest of the country is seeing (like the auto industry areas are seeing). Check out www.statesman.com jobs for listings. Craig's list also typically has job listings here. Good Luck! You'll love it here.

The job market everywhere is about to take a nosedive. It's gonna look a lot like 1973 very soon--if not 1933. The second Bush recession is already underway.
