I am currently job hunting (looking to relocate) and looking for a good list of the medium to large size companies in the area.

Thanks!

What kind of work do you do? Kind of silly to make a statement like "What kind of large companies are there" when you dont say what you do. There are lots of jobs out there picking strawberries if you have low wage expectation.

No, not a strawberry picker. I went the coconut picking route instead. From what I hear it pays a little better.

What ever happened to being friendly and curteous to people rather than insulting and condascending at every chance?

I did not ask for job recommendations. I asked for a list of large companies in the area. My occupation is irrelevant to my question.

Sorry I asked.

There are certain career fields in which you can find a job at almost any medium-large company, which is likely the reason why the question was asked. People in IT, accounting/finance, marketing, etc usually have that benefit. If I were looking for a new job in my field I'd ask the same thing.
