You moved for the job, and the rest takes longer
Dallas-Fort Worth is one of the fastest-growing regions in the country, and a large share of the people arriving came for work. When the job is the reason you are here, a layoff can take away the reason along with the paycheck, and the past few years brought large cuts in corporate, logistics and airline jobs. The region stretches across two big cities and dozens of suburbs, so neighbors often commute in opposite directions and rarely meet. Half of renters in Dallas are stretched by housing costs, and each winter cold snap brings back the memory of the grid failing.
How peer support helps near Dallas
