Believe it or not, Beaumont has experienced a HUGE boom in population and economic growth over the past couple of years, and it's still forging ahead.
If you're considering Beaumont or Banning... I'd highly recommend against Banning, even though it's directly next to Beaumont. There are very, very few redeeming qualities about the town. As far as work is concerned, off the top of my head, I know of 6 people who commute from Beaumont, Moreno Valley and even Corona, into the Coachella Valley each day for work and have done so for years. Palm Springs, Cathedral City, Rancho Mirage, Indian Wells, La Quinta and Indio are all within a realistic driving distance for work. Conversely, going the opposite direction, you have Moreno Valley, Yucaipa, Redlands and Loma Linda. The Beaumont area will provide more options than you may realize.
Since you're in the IT field, there should be plenty of jobs to choose from. However, it certainly depends on where your specialty lies. As we all know, the more specialized your field is, the smaller the field is to choose from.
Check out the on-line versions of The Desert Sun and The Press Enterprise newspapers and skim through their employment sections. LA Times might even have listings this far out.
Good luck to you!
