Default moving to florida soon
I'm going to be moving to Florida in a couple months and i'm curious how the job market for electricians is doing. I haven't decided on the area i'm going to be moving to so any info would be greatly appreciated. I've got 11 years experience with the last 4 doing flat rate residential work. I have gone through both the Nexstar Network training as well as Charlie Greer's Sales Survival School.

Why would you want to come here? The resi market is non-existent right now.

I don't live in Florida, but I tend to agree with Chris and the same holds true for all the southeast.
The dwindling residential market is cut-throat right now, IMO

Work on your strengths. Try to land a sales job with a contractor.
