I'm in Tampa and love it. It was difficult getting established since they don't want to pay. Some places do... Just a matter of what you do and if it's something that an employer is after. There is a lot of unemployment down here, but I have SEEN people land very good jobs after just a few days/ weeks. It's all about timing and the employer's interest. I would say visit a few times and put some feelers out there before you just jump.
