I'm considering a move to the east coast from the Dallas area and i'd like a REAL person's view of the economic situation in the Philadelphia Area. I've been reading a lot of the posts on here and i really appreciate the honest opinions everyone offers.

I'm a call center/customer service kinda gal by profession. I've worked on all ends, been a supervisor, an agent, quality assurance, scheduling/workforce management, tech support....private industry and government...

What are the major industries in the area?
Who are the biggest employers?
Who are the companies to stay away from?
What is the unemployment rate REALLY like? I know we get the government 'jobless' numbers, but I've come to believe thats not a true indicator of the real situation in any area.

I am not familiar at all with the Philly area, and what's been happening there.
I think, putting your posting in the Philadelphia Forum would be of much better help to you, and would be answered by people actually LIVING or coming from there. And, those are the people you want to ask.
Hope this helps. Good luck!
