Middle TN, Where are the jobs?

[Chucktshoes]

So the wife and I have decided to ditch out of the Memphis area and head out to somewhere outside of Nashville. We are definitely leaning towards the Murfreesboro/Bell Buckle/Rutherford County, area, but open to wherever the employment can be found and that we can live outside of Davidson County. Anybody have a suggestion or direction? My background is in Retail Management, so I know I am limited in that respect. We have been talking about this for a while, and decided it is time to do this before Lilly (my soon to be born daughter) gets here and gets to school age. Any ideas or direction would be appreciated.

Thanks.

No jobs here in Murfreesboro.

Gonna miss you. Good luck on your move and search for employment.

Will Walgreens do a transfer? Also, CVS seems to be growing, snagging a walgreens manager would probably be something that they would like to do.

Good luck with your move!

Walgreens will do a transfer, but they are a bit full up on managers in that market. So, there is really not a place to transfer to.

new Walgreens under construction in Ashand City TN (not one here previously) this is a great community with a small town feel (because it is) and within 30 minutes to downtown Nashville. I love this area. Site work almost complete but have not started on building yet.

I'd try to transfer with your existing employer if you can. The retail job market is still extremely competitive from what I've seen. May be a good time to consider a career change.

We have several positions available, including retail positions.

Most of the jobs seem like they are down around Chattanooga.

Thanks all for the advice and information offered. I am going to try to transfer with Walgreens, that would be optimal. However, come spring we will be making the move with or without Walgreens as my employer. I will say that by searching Indeed.com The market appears to be MUCH better in the MidTN area than Memphis. Currently Nashville-Davidson-Murfreesboro-Metro has an unemployement rate of 8.4 while Memphis is 10.4 That's a big difference for 2.5 hours drive.

Definitely open to this option. I may be pretty good at retail, but I don't exactly love it by any means.

Tried to send you a PM but your inbox is full.

Cleaned out my box, sorry. Haven't renewed my Benefactor status yet, lost the extra storage space.

That is proabaly partly because of the new VW plant they built in Chattanooga.

Industry often brings in more retail and services to the area.

Don't forget the two Amazon dist. centers. Their Mayor down there seems to be getting these companies to come there. At least one politician is doing something. Our Governor may as well not exist. Is he still alive? Maybe someone should check. Nah,I don't want to know.
