The San Antonio area job market is based on the services industry, health care, and tourism.
DON'T FORGET to hand carry your employment records and documents, transcripts, certificates and licenses.
You may be eligible for unemployment; apply immediately upon your relocation to the area. Any delay can result in losing entitlements. Application should be made at the Texas Workforce Commission.
The unemployment rate in San Antonio is normally in line with the national average. It currently stays close to 5%. There is a direct correlation between the low cost of living for the area and the local wage scale. You may expect to be paid less than you are accustomed to earning.
For those who teach or would like to be teachers, Troops to Teachers has a program element specifically for spouses. The program is called Spouses to Teachers. Texas is one of six states participating. For program information, please refer to the Spouses to Teachers website below.
