Where The High Tech Jobs Are
When looking for high tech jobs, San Francisco, Boston, Washington DC, and New York immediately come to mind. But you might want to consider Montgomery, AL!
Paul Maidment's latest article in Forbes.com sings Montgomery's praises with jobs 'aplenty' and much lower costs of living than the big guys. "A programmer earning $100,000 per year in San Jose, Calif., for example, would only need to earn $61,515 in Montgomery, according to data from ACCRA, a nonprofit that compiles cost-of-living data."
Where are the jobs you ask? Maxwell Air Force base is the computing hub for the Department of Defense and the 754th Electronic Systems Group. Oracle and Dell have offices in Montgomery to support these operations.
"For IT, this is the center of mass for change," says Greg Garcia, director of the 754th. He just moved there a year ago from Tucson, Ariz., and says he loves the schools for his two daughters, the southern hospitality and, of course, how much further his dollars go.
"It's great," he says. "For the price of a house in Boston, you'd get three in Montgomery."
