It is a small city. I love the small town feel with the opportunity to do large city activities. The citizens are respectful, kind, and hard working. Amarillo has great first responders and a supporting community! The cost of living is one of the best in Texas! Amarillo also has one of the lowest unemployment rates in the State of Texas, residents have no problem finding a job here! It is believed that there are more jobs than there are people! Exceptional education is provided here and there are many college opportunities. Great place to raise a family!
Amarillo has been a transformative and enriching community for me. While I do not envision a future here, I am immensely grateful for the experiences and opportunities that this city has provided me. For many individuals, Amarillo is a place that they can call "home" for a lifetime. This city boasts an abundance of job opportunities and an exceptional community college, making it an ideal place to begin one's life journey.
The social atmosphere in Amarillo is both unique and welcoming. Everywhere you turn, you will encounter friendly individuals with stories to share. This city has a distinctive charm that is difficult to find anywhere else.

I moved to Amarillo in fall of 21. I came to work for a job that brought me here. After sometime I learned that this job would not be a good fit I began looking other places. I have spent the last year and a half looking for a good job to try and stay here Bec I love the location. Since then I have applied to so many jobs. It’s your typical small city click like we are back in high school. So many unprofessional businesses here they do not follow up on an application and they hire based on who you know than qualification. I feel like Amarillo could do better but they don’t want to. Small town life and politics are a joke. I have a Masters Degree from Texas Tech I am more than qualified to have a job here. In a city where there is a major prison system one might think that they could have a chance to live a good life here. I wish the Locals here would grow up and give others who are new to the area a chance to show their capabilities!
