I looked into the ones you posted and from what I have seen from their open jobs on their website they all skilled trade jobs. Nothing for general workers. Except for amazon I did not check them out.

My only advice would be to make sure you pick a house or apartment close to your job locations, because the traffic in Tampa is awful.

I'd really consider Lakeland (Polk County).
Its 45min east of Tampa and 45min west of Orlando. Housing is cheaper, there is Amazon warehouse,Publix warehouses and a couple manufactured home factories and a few R.V. manufactures.

The problem with choosing Lakeland is that you have a commute always. Better to choose either Orlando or Tampa bay area
then find the jobs, or at least get a feel for the jobs market but one of you should have a job, or you will have a problem even getting a rental to live in. When you have decided where, then look for your permanent place. Of course you might find what you want in Lakeland and not have to move, but its a little small if you like a lot of variety.

wish you both look in your endeavor
ps despite the fact that the summer heat drives me crazy, and I can't grow my English style garden, and my family are an ocean away, this is home and the folks in Pinellas county are wonderful, all sorts, all shapes and sizes and creeds and colors, and political opinions (and boy they do like to share those LOL) and I find it for the most part pretty calm to live in.

The cool thing about your dream is that it can, and likely will come true! How exciting is that!

Just wondering, how did you come to Tampa/Orlando? What about Jax or Miami, etc?
