Jobs in The Woodlands???? (Houston, Spring: home, find a job, salary)

[Visitor2007]

Is Woodlands only a residential area or are there jobs (big companies, law firms, etc.)?

You wont find tons of jobs in The Woodlands. Some corporations do have offices up there, but not that many. Law firms not really or very small ones. I tried to find a job up there and I realized that if you find a job up there, usually the salary is less than if you go downtown or anywhere else in the city. That's why so many people commute, I do.

I found that it is extremely difficult to get a job out in The Woodlands that pays well. I tried a few staffing agencies and they were terrible, and I commute to Houston. I keep holding out hope for a job closer to home though.

My GF has been looking in "The Woodlands" area for a job since August. She had a temp job for about 2 months then got laid off the Friday after Thanksgiving.

BTW, 40% of Woodlands residents also work in The Woodlands.

Not impressed with the short list and the braches of the list of companies. It's too far of a commute to downtown Houston with 30 miles away. If it was 20 miles would have made a huge difference such as some southern Spring areas.

Not impressed?!? You're kidding, right? It's a town of 55,000 people--what exactly were you expecting?

[Guerilla]

Well, it actually has 83,000 now, and will be over 100,000 by 2010.

[Mom2Feebs]

Okayl--what town of 83,000 has that many major companies? Gads.
