I think it is probably safe to assume that with most of us being seniors and steadily approaching graduation, future careers is a topic that is on our minds. It's frightening to think about the prospect of searching for employment in the current not-so-hot job market. With this thought in mind this article about the the locations in the U.S. that are currently thriving places to find employment caught my eye.
It was very surprising to me that the top three locations in the U.S. to find employment are all located in Texas. Houston, Austin, and the Dallas-Fort Worth area ranked first, second, and third on the list respectively. After discovering this I wondered what kinds of opportunities there are in Texas for public relations hopefuls. Turns out, these are areas that have many prospects. Just focusing on PR firms there is Pierpont Communications with locations in all three cities, The Bernard Group in Austin, and MWW Group and the Shelton Group both in Dallas- Fort Worth. These are just a few of the many firms listed in the areas. These kinds of opportunities are worth looking into if you don't know what do after graduation.

This is a great resource Lauren, thank you! I have been to Texas before (San Antonio) and did not see the best part of the state,however, if the job market for PR is right then why not?
Nice job Lauren. Great resources for your classmates, and a thoughtful post.
Like Blaire, I have also visited Texas before; however, I spent time in Austin. I actually loved that area, and I've actually kept it in mind since I've started researching internships. It definitely doesn't seem like they would be at a loss for PR professionals, because like most metropolitan areas, there is always something going on.
