Hi all, I'll likely be relocating from the UK back to the US due to the company going into administration. I call Minneapolis home but I figure if I'm going to be moving a few thousand miles I may as well move to where the jobs are. Does anyone know of a particular area that has a shortage of DBAs? Thanks, Warren
