Living in Alabama
Alabama's easygoing attitudes appeal to both those who wish to live in the big cities and those who prefer the quiet of the rural regions. Agriculture and automotive manufacturing remain mainstays of the economy. In recent years high-tech jobs have flourished in places like Huntsville, which boasts a strong aerospace engineering industry, and Birmingham, which is a hub for telecommunications. Even in the cities home prices are low, making purchasing a home a possibility for even young buyers.
