I can't speak from personal experience, but from what I've heard/read, Philadelphia is one of the more stable markets in the country.

I've heard this, too. I'm not sure why anyone is saying "move somewhere else instead of Philly" considering we are generally doing better than most areas.

Who have you "heard" this from?
Philadelphia's placement at #196 on the list of cities with lowest unemployment rates might be seen as stable in some minds, but really...we're tied with Goldsboro, NC...Brunswick, GA...Columbus, IN and Johnstown, PA. Boston is also tied at #196 where there has been a bloodbath of layoffs.
We're really not a big economic engine right now.
