Hi all,

I am considering moving to the Plano/Frisco/Allen area as I am facing yet another potential layoff in Harrisburg, PA.

Our question is... what is the job market like down there? We both have backgrounds in the insurance (property and casualty) industry and are concerned about how long it will take to obtain gainful employment without having to commute to Dallas. Also, is there decent public transportation in these areas?

Thanks so much for your help.

HR person here... current DFW unemployment is 4% so if you're good, you'll get lots of calls quickly!

I'm honestly not sure what insurance companies are in the Plano area. (That's one of the few industries I haven't recruited for!) I would highly suggest renting for a while until you get a good job and decide where you'd like to live. Start looking now and see what's out there!

Public transportation up there is minimal at best. The DART Rail will get you to downtown Dallas quickly, but beyond that, bus service is few and far between...so, you'll need a car!
