I moved here from upstate NY where I was making $16/hr... that was in 1998. We sold our house and did some traveling then ended up here in Titusville in 2004. There are jobs down here, but they are all very low paying jobs. Many people employers here think that a $9 to $10 per hour job is making good money. The rent for a single bedroom apartment here runs around $800 to $1200 a month, add vehicle costs, electric bills, food, etc...
I ended up starting my own business here due to the fact that I can make triple of what any employer would pay. But, now with the space center down, other businesses closing their doors, available housing has been left to foreclosures, the Chamber of Commerce here is pathetic, there's not much left. Many businesses here are trying to under cut the competition in order to make ends meet which hurts establishing companies.
