Reply to comment by WhenRobLoweRobsLowes in Would it be a good idea to move to PA just for work? by finallyalright

As an Ohioin living in PA this is absolutely correct. You’ll move here and be like “umm… why’d I do this.” Most professional jobs are relegated to Harrisburg, Philly suburbs, or Pittsburgh. York is a mixed bag and doesn’t have a lot to offer in my personal opinion.

If you want opportunities that offer a nice slow Midwestern lifestyle with a professional environment that have good to great pay look at Columbus, Ohio, Cincinnati, Ohio, or Wright Patterson Air Force Base, Ohio.

“Columbus outpaced the average, with job growth of 14% compared from 2021. Cincinnati's growth surpassed Columbus at 15.2%, and Cleveland trailed Columbus with job growth below the national average at 11.3%.”

Columbus is basically a bunch of shitty suburbs stitched together into a "city" and it should be illegal to recommend that people move there.

Lived in Columbus for 5 years and moved to the suburbs of Pittsburgh 2 years ago. I’m so happy we left Ohio. Ohio is so flat and boring with very little opportunity for outdoor activities. At least in PA there is actual hiking, mountain biking, skiing, etc.

I've lived in Columbus as well (Westerville) and I have to say it's a fantastic city, but its main issue is that it's Ohio...

I will absolutely agree that PA has a lot to do in terms of nature and is beautiful to boat and hike in.

Yea, I was actually wondering about maybe applying to places in Ohio too. My cousin moved to Columbus Ohio area and still lives there after 1-2 years.

I highly recommend it. But if you want to know more about Ohio post to the Ohio Reddit group.

This would be like if I moved from Pittsburgh, PA to Lima, OH and wondered why it sucks.

If you’re more comfortable in a backwards Republican theocracy, I’d think York would be a good spot.
