Texas

It seems like the entire state of Texas has great opportunities for older workers. For instance, Dallas had the sixth-highest year-over-year employment rate increase by 3.3% for a large metro area.

It’s also a popular destination for retirees, with a 3% increase in residents between 50 and 69 over the last couple of years, says the US Census Bureau. Dallas is one of the leading major metro job producers in the Us, and the area’s average annual wage is about $49,300.

Also, Dallas remains an affordable relocation destination with no state income tax and its housing prices is 24% lower than the nation’s average.

Hiring prospects also look promising in Austin, where the unemployment rate ranks 5th best at a meager 3.2%, and employment growth places 17th best among major metropolitan areas.
