Most of the time the weather in this area is really nice, however we get some nasty weather changes for example one day its extremely hot and the next day its cold. In the Summer it is probably really hot and can get really irritating for people who don't like the sun. Spring is really nice and beautiful as well as the fall. I don't think there has been a problem with the weather in this area.

The employment in my area is not that great. You do not really see any help wanted signs or job opportunities unless your lucky. The only place someone would have a chance in getting a job would perhaps be the mall. What I do know is that not most people actually have a career but work in fast food restaurants.
