TYPES OF WORK AVAILABLE IN THE COMMUNITY
San Antonio's job
market is based primarily on tourism, health care, and services type
jobs. Because of the sheer volume of potential employers in the area,
it is not possible to estimate an average wage range for any given career
field. Salaries and wages generally run lower in San Antonio in any
type of work because the cost of living is lower.
EMPLOYMENT ON
BASE
Please refer to the section on Employment: Federal
Government. DECA, AAFES, and NAF each has their own personnel
office.
SPOUSE PREFERENCE

Personnel Office as soon as possible after arrival to determine your eligibility

considering accepting a NAF position, be sure to ask how that will affect spouse
preference.
