While it might be turning around, the construction market is far away from where it was a few years ago. It used to be almost impossible to drive thru new s/d's when they were building because there were so many cars and trucks in the streets. Now I drive into one and the only house that had any activity is the one I am inspecting. Like i said, it is picking up though.

That said, I think you will be in fierce competition with the project managers that were let go when the jobs started going away.

To try to move here and then get a job would be very risky.
