I haven't experienced the shortage of jobs here in Dallas. I don't work the "normal" job though.
The big industries out here (in Dallas) are health care / pharmaceuticals and telecommunications.
I could get paid more here in Dallas than in Seattle, doing less. Then again, it's prob. a case-to-case thing. The jobs are plentiful, but finding qualified people might be lacking in some cases.

I know my friend who lives up in MD and has a sh*t jobwants to come down here to VA to get into the IT field as I did 15 years ago. Problem is he cannot find a job down here that will hire him and pay him what he needs to be able to live in this area, without the experience. When I started in IT I was single so I could afford to live in less-desirable conditions until I got the experience to get a better job, THEN I got married, had kids, etc. My friend already has a family so he cannot do this. It sucks because we went to High School together and if you compare our lifestyles they are completely different. I have not even told him that I have purchased a TT yet because my TT is a third "fun" car for me, and it is pretty much a recreational buy. My friend does not do "recreational " buys. Ever.

Seattle is a beautiful place to live. I work in the city but live in the foot hills of the Cascade mountians. Winters suck..hardly any snow (except in the mountains) but tons of gloom and rain. Summers are beautiful....water, mountains and forests. There is a ton of stuff to do if you are into out doorsy stuff like boating/hiking/skiing-snowboarding.
There is a very large VW/Audi following up here and tons of shops like Achtuning for example.
Tech jobs...there are a ton. I'm work in the Seattle "snobby" tech world as well helping to provide large companies with convereged voice/datasolutions up to 10Gb flash waves on fiber.

If you know of any helpdesk or service desk positions that pay enough for me to live on my own (no roommate). Send them my way! I would love to live somewhere like that.
