Our family is considering a move to Raleigh, NC. Our criteria for making the decision is the following: support for special needs children, public schools, and employment prospects.
Given the above criteria, should we make the move?
Location: More north of south, but more south of north.

We currently live in the Charleston area of SC where people are very friendly. Hopefully, we won't have to move.
I am also from Charleston and moving to the Raleigh area.
Fortunately, I have a job lined up. Now we have to get the DH gainful employment and find ourselves a place to call home.
Although the job market is sour, some have had luck. I think that the overall mood of the forum is poor towards jobs a) because only those who are struggling are posting (not those with success)
I don't think the overall mood of the forum is poor towards jobs (I hope most are working) I think that currently the triangle is a difficult place to be looking for a job (of course there are exceptions)
