What are your pros & cons of OKC?! Let us know 👇ðŸ½
Make sure to get rid off your filthy left wing NY liberal values, because we don't want t destroy our beautiful OK.
Great video! Thanks for sharing. Thinking about moving here, so I really appreciate the insights.
PS - You two seem awesome. :)
@@carlyh9831 thank you for watching 😊
Pro: The weather
Con: The weather
Windiest city I've lived in. Ice storms in the winter. Summer is nice but seriously hot. (I love summer though). Tornados. 30 degrees on Sunday, 85 on tues, 65 on weds, Snow on thurs, 90 on Friday and 31 on Saturday. You can definitely experience all the seasons in a week😂.
Not very diverse. Its majority white, but there's a lot of mixed kids here as well, so I guess its coming along. The rest of the non-white community is alot smaller than any place I've been, but this is also the first time Ive NOT lived in a big city. Despite the lack of diversity, the people are extremely nice and Im happy to say Ive never encountered racism here either. You are definitely correct about the lack of things to do😩. I travel regularly and the airport is ALWAYS a breeze. I feel sorry for you though if you have a long layover there lol. OKC is honestly a nice place to live, however, Id prefer to move now and come back to live in my later years. This is a good video guys, keep it up!
@@feyisa ​ thank you so much for watching and taking the time to comment your experiences living here. It's always nice to hear some positive words about Oklahoma.
If these two are any reflection of how genuine and articulate the residents of OKC are, I want to at least visit this place at some point.
Thank you for your kind words 🙂
That was sweet.
You should at least check it out. I've been here from some years now.
Loved your video! Just got back from OKC… helped my friend drive from Las Vegas. I will share ! Very green 😌
Just stay away from the south side lol, Norman or Edmond.
I moved here 7 years ago and caught a good job. The cost of living kept me here. When you spoke about no restaurants being open if you go out at 830 for something to eat, I laughed so hard because its absolutely true.
😆 right! We def need more late night options
Hello, I'm Jena parkers, I will be moving to Oklahoma soon , and I would like to know you and be friends, don't really knows much about the city, and I'm hoping to get meet someone who knows, to show me around.hope to hear from you .thanks and a good day .
Hey guys I'm born and raised in the 405 and you guys are spot on! Our lil 5 o clock traffic aint nothin lol. I'm never leaving this place. As I've gotten older I've learned to appreciate the slow pace here
Thank you! Yes the slow pace is nice and refreshing to have. I remember we went to Los Angeles a couple years ago and the traffic was horrible at all times so it took an hour to get to one place to another. So when we got back we were grateful for getting places in 15min LOL Thank you for watching
Good research, you two are a cute couple! I grew up in Oklahoma, and the biggest CON is the lack of diversified & high paying JOBS! Over twenty years ago I left Oklahoma, to take a higher paying job out of state with a better retirement package. The biggest PRO, is just like you said the people are so friendly, or should I say receptive to newcomers. It is not unusual to meet someone on a country road and have them wave, for no reason... just friendly. Generations of my family still live there, and I still feel like Oklahoma is HOME. Excellent post!
Thank you so much for watching and sharing your story. Love to hear about different folks experiences 😄
I agree with the lack of diversified and high paying jobs. This is why I left after high school and moved to DC to attend Howard University.
Two things I love about the 405 is that it’s easy to get around in the car and the traffic lights are calibrated properly,unlike here in Detroit, Ugh. Also most intersections have the right turn on red allowance in OKC.
I didn't know other states didn't do the turn on red. That's crazy, learn something new everyday
Also not allowed in Europe.
Great video guys. So refreshing to see the pro’s and con’s presented in a positive way. No trashing here.
Thank you for saying that! We really appreciate it 😄
Just moved here 90 days ago . I 💙 it . Enjoying your channel too !! You guys are so gracious and adorable . I found a good job pretty quick as well !
Oh that's so good! It's always nice to hear when people are able to find a job quickly especially in these times. Thanks for watching 😄
Thanks for the video guys.
Thanks for watching!
This was great info! Good Job y'all !
Thank you for watching!
Thank you for sharing your pros and cons! My family will be moving to OKC later this year.
Awesome welcome to OKC! 😀
Great video thanks for the info thanks ðŸ™
Thanks for watching it 😀
Beautifully done. Great Format, Calm Delivery, Well Organized. Oklahoma seems yet to be touched by evil cosmopolitan madness, so good on you folks. Nice Place, Good People if everyone comes across as you guys.
Thanks so much for your kind words 🤗
Oh it's hit, been here my entire life. It's becoming a low rent version of Vegas.
OKC is legit my favorite city in midwest/southern part of US. I am from Slovenia, but if I had a chance to move to US, I would deffinitely go to OKC. Just subscribed to your channel too.
That's awesome, we hope to travel to Europe one day after the pandemic. Welcome to our channel 😀 thanks for watching & subbing
Thanks for the video. I've enjoyed
Appreciate it! 🙂
I lived in OKC for two years, I had to leave OKC for job related reasons. But I really liked it there, it is a good size, plenty to do, yet not overwhelming in size like Dallas or Atlanta.
Totally agree. Each time we go to Dallas we have to find a different highway to get on to get around lol
Super helpful thank you for thissss
You're welcome 😊
amazing video, thanks so much :)
Thanks for watching 😀
This was extremely helpful!
Thanks! I'm glad it was helpful for you
Thank you for this ðŸ™
You’re welcome 😊
Great video very informative you guys are awesome!!!
Thank you! We appreciate the feedback🙂
I'm thinking about moving next year to oklahoma city. Thanks for the video!
You're welcome 😊 thanks for watching
So helpful!! ðŸ‘ðŸ¼
Thanks glad you found it helpful 😄
Yall are great.
Aw thank you 😄
This is an awesome video I’m thinking of moving for work so this was super helpful!
Thanks for watching so glad it was helpful to you
Thank you guys!
You're welcome! 😀
Love the channel you guys - keep it up!
Thank you 😀
Thanks guys!
You're welcome, thank you for tuning in.
Really thinking about relocating to okc thanks for sharing.
You're welcome 🙂 thanks for watching!
@Monica Newman If anyone is currently looking to purchase a home, I am selling a 4-5 bedroom off market at a low price under $170k located in Le Flore County.
Which is rare as 4-5 bedroom houses throughout Oklahoma are well over $250k on market.
House is in beautiful modern designed condition. Sitting on a decent lot size. Move in ready.
Looking to sell by 8th March. Feel free to comment here and leave me your cell number or email address.
Nice video, OK has some really friendly laid back folks even in some of the smaller cities and towns! ðŸ‘ðŸ¾
Thank you! We would definitely agree with you, Oklahoma has some the nicest people.
Thank you so much. We got back from OKC for a family reunion Last month. I was amazed at how much it had changed for the better. Lots to do. Same friendliness as the South.
We live in Nashville which has a lot of the same pros and cons as OKC. Becoming an It City is changing it not for the better sadly. We’re seriously considering a move to OKC.
I’m subscribing to your channel today. â¤ï¸
If you could ever do an update, it would be great. I know cost of housing has kind of gone crazy this past year, including in Nashville and OKC.
Hi! Thanks for subbing 🙂. Glad you had a good time here. We should do an update because the cost of living is getting pretty crazy around here from what we are use to. Eggs are off the charts some weeks at the grocery store!
AS SOMEONE FROM OKC THIS IS THE BEST ONE OUT THERE. THE TRUTH WAS TOLD AND THE GOOD AND THE BAD. So Thank you! for doing a great job, but I'm looking to move out as of 2023. As a black male working in education, the STATE has tried to kill me several times, and often falls into issues with race, poverty, and basic human rights for some that are being denied and ignored by people just moving here. So please just because you are able to afford a house in OKC doesn't mean people in OKC can afford housing, so it sucks when people out of OK buy up housing and try to force us out of our own city, so instead of seeing my friends and family be displaced, and my childhood covered up with generified mess, I'm going to move.
Great video. You two are fantastic. My wife and I are moving there this summer and we hope we have neighbors as great as you too
Thank you! We hope you have a great move.
You’re very inspirational 👠kEEp It UP
Thank you! Will do!
Nice video ty guys
Thank you!
Hi guys you are amazing, I'm from Italy and I was looking for real life in America, as i will have huge holiday in the future in the States after the pandemic and I'm going to spend my time in the mainstream cities so i met you. You are fabolous together and thanks for showing me so many interesting things.
Thank you so much for watching. I'm glad you think Oklahoma city is mainstream lol alot of people think it's the country and we only have cows 😆 be safe on your journey here hopefully you'll be able to enjoy it soon
@@LivinanOKlife Oh No I don't think it's mainstream, this is why i'm going to visit it as soon as the pandemic will be over. I will definitely contact you. Both of you are amazing!!!!
Nice editing guys great video
Hey Austin!! Thanks lol did we pop up in your recommended? 😆
I don't remember I've been watching you guys for a couple months
Yeah I agree that a big con is everything closing early. We were making some progress and then boom the pandemic happened, 1 step forward and 2 steps back. I hope we can make bigger strides in the future with more late night shopping options.
Yes night shopping would be wonderful! I visited NYC one year and we went shopping at rue 21 at 2am like it was a normal Saturday afternoon. Lol if we were to ever become a really popular tourist destination then maybe it'll happen.
Awesome ðŸ‘
Another informative video. Thanks to both of you. I'd love to see you go on an Asian District adventure (hint, hint). I live in Houston's Asia Town and would love to compare. I plan on retiring in OKC and really appreciate all the insights.
Thanks so much! Okay we will add that to our list of ideas 😊
THANK YOU GUYS :) YOU GUYS ARE BEAUTIFUL.. I AM THINKING TO MOVE TO OKC FROM TEXAS :)
Thank you 😊 and thanks for watching
I’m moving there next year I can’t wait
Have safe travels on your move here! 🙂
Thank you for the wonderful information. Considering relocation for nursing.👩ðŸ¾â€âš•ï¸ðŸš‘
You're welcome 😊 I watched a news conference the other day with the Oklahoma Nurses Association saying there has been a nursing shortage in Oklahoma for the last 20 years 😳 I'm sure you would have no problem finding work here
@@LivinanOKlife Hahaha that’s why I’m considering it. Might be time to leave Alaska, but the pay is good hereðŸ˜. Decisions, decisions.
My gf and I just moved to Dallas from DC, and visited OKC for the weekend. We had a lot more fun than we thought we would!
That's great! I'm glad you both had fun here. 😀 what did you end up doing
@@LivinanOKlife Day 1, we started with stopping by Zero Tolerance Coffee for their bourbon barrel cold brew, then swung by the state Captiol hoping to explore inside, but it was closed. We stopped by the Oklahoma History Center next door instead. Afterwards, trip to OK Cider and Core 4 Brewing. Drove to Scissortail Park for a walk, and did dinner at Social Capital, capped off with a late night stroll through Bricktown. Day 2, we went for an early morning walk down Boathouse Row, then drove to Norman for brunch, beers and Premier League soccer at Beer is Good Brewing, stop by Equity Brewing, coffee at Yellow Dog Coffee, and then headed back to Dallas.
That's awesome! Sounds like you guys had a good time. ðŸ‘ðŸ½
I really enjoyed this video you guys. I appreciate all perspectives on different places, but especially from someone who looks like me, to be honest. Nice editing and effects too. What app do you use?
Thank you for watching 🙂 we use a software called Filmora 9 to edit for right now.
Nice video... nice folks!
Thank you! 😊
Planning to visit OKC in July! Woohoo
Awesome! Have fun and enjoy your stay 😀
OKC is a great city!! I love the people of Oklahoma! Y’all make the best burgers ever!!
Aw I'm glad you have a positive opinion of Oklahoma! We do have great burgers. Which ones have you tried here? Most people head to Nics or Tuckers first 😋
I do not need a lot to do. I would be cool hanging out with you folks for a bit. Thanks for the video.
Thank you! 😀 Maybe one day we get to just chill and relax ðŸ‘ðŸ½
good looking couple. thanks for the vid
Thanks for watching! 😄
My Brotha knew he was looking good in that intro 0:36 😂😂😂 Great video and loved your format. You guys are awesome!
Thank you! appreciate it
You're right. Nobody goes to OK. Flights are ltd, there are no other alternatives except driving. I Love the way the whole place gets shut down if there's an ice storm-sensible. I don't like the hail & the humidity. Liked you practical presentation.
Thanks for commenting and watching our videos! We appreciate it
Good details
Thank you 😊
Great tips. We plan to move there.
Thank you! Let us know how the move goes.
@@LivinanOKlife Will do. We live in AZ now, as hot as you know, so plan to move over to OK. BTW, look forward to seeing your new videos. 🤩🙌
thanks you guys good
Yourwelcome! 😀
good video lay it on the line
Thank you! 😊
Love this! Thank you! From an OKC Tourism Ambassador! I always want the truth portrayed! Don’t want anyone to be disappointed. Ps. We have new public transit systems. Pss. Would love to meet for coffee. All About Cha?
Thanks for watching 😄 cool! that's interesting, what do you do being a tourism ambassador for OKC?
Still waiting for that new public transit system that connects our city instead of just servicing downtown.
I’m born and raised in Baltimore, Maryland. I’ve been wanting to Oklahoma City/ Edmond the last few years. It’s hard to find a job first before moving, but this makes me want to start trying again. Thanks for sharing!
Definitely, maybe try getting in just anywhere and then once you are actually here then you can look for something more suited.. I hope you are able to find one! Thanks for watching 🙂
It depends on what you do, there are a lot of jobs here. If you're interested in moving here there are definite possibilities. There are large corporations here that are always hiring. Hobby lobby distribution center is a good place to work to get you down here. That's just one example. Oil and gas is a big employer here too.
@@damonmabry1607 I have a job a Lowe's waiting before I move there next week. They're giving me $30k/yr to run a cash register lol. Being a single guy in a wheelchair, with no kids, it's perfect for me.
@@boofert.washington2499 that's great! I hope that you enjoy it here!
D D Ont blue not wanting our city become Detroit
Definitely looking to move to OKC this year.
Nice! You will not regret making OKC your home, keep us posted. 😀

Played college golf at OCU, great folks, but windy as hell!
Sums up oklahoma very well lol 😆
Your leaves are starting to turn already -- they're so pretty. Is that a little early this year? Maybe not.....
I noticed some yesterday around where we live it's so gorgeous. But yea it's pretty normal for them to start turning in October around here. Sometimes even September!
Yo I’m 12 and have lived in Oklahoma my whole life so I’m glad other ppl are enjoying it
Awesome 🙂
Youtwo are just so fresking cute. Loved the video. See you next time!
Lol thank you ☺
There are 2 seasons in Oklahoma: winter and construction..
Pot holes are the norm. Everywhere here.
It's just one continuous pot hole from McLoud to US 62.
It's the clay soil.
🤣😂 one continuous pothole. That's so funny
I loved this video. Do y'all have any comparisons of OKC to Tulsa? I am trying to decide between the two.
Thank you but unfortunately we don't right now 😔 we haven't been able to get up to tulsa in awhile. It's time for a visit!
Pro’s for me is no traffic, even during rush hour it is only 20 minutes and then clear blue skies. 😗
Exactly! The traffic is not that bad here and there's always a way around it if you don't want to stay on the freeway.
I got on TH-cam today and it suggested this video for me to watch, and I was like... Hey I know those two!
😄😄 heyyy Alisha!
I'm born and raised in the OKC area, thank you for doing such a great job representing my hometown.
Aww thanks so much 😀
Am planning to mo to OKC...I need more info
@@noreenkatabarwa2613 these guys have a lot of great info on their channel but if I can answer any questions I would be happy to help.
@@noreenkatabarwa2613 let us know what we can help with as well. You can always send us an email livinanoklife@gmail.com
Ya'll have a very good list. I would add to the con list the limited public transportation. Also we need major improvement to our public school system as a whole and teacher pay and support. Statewide actually on the schools.
Thank you for your input, those are a few cons we didn't think of 😃
We are thinking about relocating to OKC when our rent is up in March. We are in DFW. We visited OKC last year and loved how the traffic was sparse etc. The only thing that worries me is the tornadoes. But the cost of living is great in OKC compared to what you can get in DFW
DFW has plenty of tornados as well!
Definitely! The traffic here is nothing compared to Texas. I remember traveling through Houston and missed an exit. The next exit wasn't for another 15+ miles because of some construction. Boy everyone was mad lol we were headed to Galveston to get on a cruise and we all needed to use the restrooms 😂 but I agree with Nathan Miller. DFW has tornadoes as well so no need to be nervous to come here. We don't have twisters dropping out of the sky like the movie 🤣😉
Same here! I want to move from the dfw to Okc but my wife is a cali native and she's scared of the "tornados" smh 🤦
Good news! Most places have tornado shelters!
Same here Dfw is too crowded and real estate is expensive!
Y’all need to come visit the ICE EVENT CENTER it’s lit on Thursday through Saturday black friendly and a good time
Sounds great! 😀 We have been quite a few times to eat catfish.
Hello, I'm Jena parkers, I will be moving to Oklahoma soon , and I would like to know you and be friends, don't really knows much about the city, and I'm hoping to get meet someone who knows, to show me around.hope to hear from you .thanks and a good day .
Making me wanna move here away from Los Angeles where I pay $1600 for a 1 bedroom 🤔. Plus my mom is from Oklahoma looks very relaxing something you can't get here lol
😱 Oh no that's a house payment on a nice brand new 3 bed 2 bath house here 😆 lol it's definitely a lot slower pace than LA but not boring so it's a perfect mix. Come visit!
I live in Seattle and 2.60 for regular unleaded gas is cheap. We're aware that there are cheaper places out there to live, but this is where the money's at
lol yea a lot of folk's say that. I've been wanting to visit Seattle one day. How is it up there? If I flew in, would I need to rent a car to get around or is the public transportation decent?
@OSU. 1 .BETTA. we have Amazon, Microsoft, Starbucks, Boeing. Right beneath us is Oregon. HQ for Nike, Adidas, etc
Welp Okc here I come from Houston Tx thanks guys
You're welcome! 😊
Hey bro it'd Clark from work I just found this so uou can expect it to come monday
Lol 😆 ok I will prep myself now.
Terrin!! 😂 I looked up kayaking in Oklahoma City and this video came up. I’m living in Moore, hit me up. Long time no see!
Hey how is it going? How long have you been living in moore?
Going on 3 years, everyone else still lives in Muskogee. We need to get together soon!
Nice, what's your name on FB?
I don’t have fb, do you have snap?
Nope lol
can you do a Video on the safest cities to live in Oklahoma.
We sure can! 😀
Thank for sharing! Weird question....I’m currently working on a surprise anniversary gift for my partner, I’m trying to get little love notes from all over the world, including all 50 US states and I still need one from Oklahoma .
It would just entail writing out a little note in marker and then taking/sending a pic of it.
If you can’t help, no worries.
Thank you for your time, be wellðŸ¤
Okay I can send one. Send an email to us.
@@LivinanOKlife thank you so so much!!!
It would just have to say
We can feel the love in (location)!
Happy Anniversary Paul & Nina

Am moving to Oklahoma City, in June 2023,from NYC.
Congrats! Welcome to a slower pace of life 😀
Great video! I'm a student coming to study at OU from the UK in the next academic year, does anyone have any suggestions in terms of the best things for students to do?
Congrats! Well we don't have any specific videos for college students quite yet but we did make a video about things to do in Norman, here's the link th-cam.com/video/c8budKvhxrw/w-d-xo.html. Campus corner is really popular amongst OU students and there are always watch parties for football games. Hopefully we can make some content geared for college students in the future to give you more stuff to do. But in the meantime def check out the video I linked to get an idea of a few things Norman has to offer
@@LivinanOKlife that's fantastic thank you! Will definitely give that a watch and I can't wait to get over there - been told its going to be a real culture shock ahaha!
@@harryrobinson5831 lol it probably will be a culture shock.. well let us know how you like it when you get here👋ðŸ½
We are following you from Arab countryâ¤
Welcome! 😃

#livinganoklife I am planning a trip to OKC ...does a travellers guide exsist? Do you have references what to explore in Okc? Are there National Parks?
Yes!!! So hopefully you aren't coming in the next week if so it may not be here in time. If you go to www.travelok.com/brochures you can get free books of everything to do here! It's soooo helpful I get them every year. They have 2021 travel guide and a state park guide and soo many other ones on there. You can get them shipped to your house for free or just download them immediately. I like the actual books though. Hope this helps!
How are your car inspections in OK? Are they tough to get vehicles to pass? How often do you have to get your vehicles inspected? I’m asking because NJ is super duper tough on emissions and gas cap inspections. They inspect everything else, but they definitely crack down on that and every four years our cars have to go through inspections unless the vehicles are older than 1995. Then they are exempt from inspection.
We actually do not have that here in Oklahoma. When I bought a car a long time ago I guess the dealership got it from Texas and it had a sticker on there for the inspection. Long story short I don't remember if it was an officer who told me or a mechanic that said I needed to take that sticker off because I could get in trouble with it on there. Don't ask me why though I don't know lol anyways to answer your question Department of Public Safety doesn't require any safety or smog tests here currently.
@@LivinanOKlife - THANK YOU! Yes, you did answer my question. It helped immensely. I’m hoping to take a vacation there to OKC in July hopefully this year (2020) in order to scout it out and make a final relocation decision as to the area.
@@Aiijuin awesome! Hopefully you'll find an area that you'll like here. Have fun when you come this summer! 🙂
There used to be yearly inspections, but that's been gone for a long time and I don't remember why it was done away with.
My name is Kendra. Nice to meet you. When was the video made?
Nice to meet you Kendra! This one was made October 2020
First class on any flight for me
Clubs, bars and casinos is the night life of okc! Also we have late movie starts and during the summer nights we have the drive in theater.
I love going to winchester in the summer! Unfortunately, we don't really go to clubs or casinos. We'll go to a bar every once in awhile but it's just not our thing.
@@LivinanOKlife you should try Jones assembly for entertainment and dinner.
@@chellyschronicles1656 yes love Jones assembly. We will actually have it in an upcoming video soon 😉😊
@@LivinanOKlife cool i know the bartender there. Kristen!
For anyone who lives in OKC, do you consider it a safe place to live? I will be moving soon and Oklahoma City is on my list of places. I've lived in 3 states in the past 5 years and am trying to find someplace to call home. Would appreciate some insight
I'd say it's generally safe. I mean crime & violence is everywhere so you can't escape it completely, but for the most part it's safe for us. We haven't had any problems personally living here yet. Now I do see the things happening on the news in the area but it's definitely not like living on the south side of Chicago. Hopefully others will chime in and tell you about their experience living here as well.
Thank you this helps. I look forward to moving :)
FYI , even tho the minimum wage has not risen .... it is a very rare thing to see this actually happening. Most make well over that amount
Thanks for sharing your thoughts.
True, I've see plenty of fast food places advertise 9, 10 and even $11 an hour, and we know those places are notorious minimum wage jobs.
I want to move there so bad! Been begging my husband for years. Living in enid now.
At least your not too far from okc! Maybe he doesn't like city living.. Show him our videos maybe it'll persuade him lol 😆
Yes will definitely do that ðŸ˜
Feds set the Minimum Wage rate; not States. I live in the SW portion of OK originally from TN. I'll never leave this place; the best place on earth truly. BTW; I sub'd you guys as well.
We agree, Oklahoma is pretty awesome. Thanks 😊
The wife and I are thinking about moving here form Colorado wayyyy cheaper houses and I can almost pay cash for one with Colorados crazy house prices / my Equity
That's awesome! No house payment is definitely a goal to have. Hope you get to achieve it if y'all end up moving!
I love a small city I live in Toledo Ohio I want to relocate for a new scene I don’t care about partying to much I’m a single mother and I just want a change and sounds to me that the 405 will work
OKC is great, once you come down you will enjoy yourself 😀ðŸ‘
It's really a great place when you single in wanna start over your new life so many programs to help!! I moved from Dakota it was very more relax here I'm be honest the more you pay the better I can say if you paying like 800 and up you good but I was told Jojo u need to get a house or a townhouse if you plan on paying over 1000 but got me a beautiful townhouse the first time I experienced Oklahoma I was homeless young youth trying to find myself in then after getting things done came home in called it my new home it was either Oklahoma or Arkansas or Kansas n plus I was to far from my family been all the way in Dakota lol being black in LGBT not so bad I cab say I felt more safer in Dakota then I did any other places
How is it being black in OK? This is my concern. I see the state is only around 8% black. Do you deal with alot of racism there?
Thank you for your insight about the city, we hope you are enjoying life in OKC.ðŸ‘ðŸ½
pros: The BeetBox! You have to try it!
Ooohh I have not even heard of this! I just looked at their Facebook. Going soon thank you!! 😊
Can you make video about public schools
We can definitely make one, thanks for the video idea😃
What about crime rate? They say it’s high. How is it there on your perspective?
Crime is everywhere even places you would not expect it to be. For me, I see it more often though because of my career field so yes I would say it's high but it's definitely not the worse city to live in.
These days, you can't get a worker for less than 15 an hour. Most factory and food production jobs here in FT smith can give a person a low 40 something thousand a year job to start.
Yea alot of places are stepping it up to get people in the door. It's nice to see.
