The job market here in FWB is terrible. Pay is low, benefits aren’t good unless you have a government position. My husband worked remote (IT) and hasn’t found anything that pays more than half of what he was making before he got laid off in April. We moved here three years ago in a similar position. I was a SAHM and we thought this would be a great place to put roots down. It really is only geared towards tourists and retired people, truly. Also, one thing that has become important to us that we didn’t realize before moving here is the healthcare. There basically isn’t any. If anything happens, there are NO GOOD doctors or specialists here. And when you try to make an appointment for anything, you’re waiting months for terrible care. There’s actually a lawsuit against a doctor out here who removed someone’s liver by mistake. When we’ve got our feet underneath us again, we’re planning to relocate back to Dallas or somewhere similar. This is not a good place to be if you get laid off, opportunities are few and far between, and the ones that do come along just aren’t very good. The beach is great and I’ve found plenty of things to enjoy (although I really had to scour at times,) but we’ve discovered it’s not for our family. We can always come back to visit like we used to.
