Where to Find Jobs in the Rio Grande Valley.

If you are thinking of moving here and are looking for jobs in the Rio Grande Valley, you should first look at the cost of living. Don’t expect to be paid what you make somewhere else. However, there is great news. According to www.salary.com, if you make $50,000 in New York City, you should expect an income of $35,900 in McAllen, Texas. However, the cost of living in McAllen is 68% less than it is in New York. This would leave you with an extra $20,000 in disposable income per year.

If you are a highly trained professional I would check the following areas:

Healthcare – This is by far the biggest arena. There are quite a few large hospitals in the area and every time I drive through town I see more medical buildings going up. A few of the major hospitals are the Rio Grande Valley Regional Hospital, McAllen Heart Hospital, McAllen Medical Center, Edinburg Children’s Hospital, Knapp Medical Center in Weslaco, and Valley Baptist in Harlingen and Brownsville.

Colleges – The main colleges are UTB in Brownsville, Pan American in Edinburg, STCC in McAllen and TSTC in Harlingen. Recently, there have been new smaller colleges opening up around the valley. Most have a fast tracked for medical certifications.

If you are someone who does not have a college degree, then let me suggest trying a call center. The wages may start off low. However, if you can show up to work every day and be aggressive towards advancement, you should be able to double your starting pay in a short amount of time. Some of the major call centers in the Rio Grande Valley are T-Mobile in Mission and Brownsville, Convergys in Pharr and Brownsville, United Health in Harlingen, and Time Warner Cable in Harlingen as well. The list of total call centers in the valley is becoming quite lengthy. You can access the location and numbers for these call centers here.

Another great company to try and start with would be H.E.B. They are the most successful grocery store in the RGV.
