it is Athens/Oconee Co
But seriously.... there's really only three job markets around here. University/government, service industry, and the Caterpillar plant that is opening up. There is also some light agriculture in the area, mainly poultry.
There is more variety of employment options in Atlanta, but that's an hour 10 minutes minimum drive one way. Also, Lockheed would be a solid 2 hours, as it is on the opposite side of ATL.
You may just want to live on your pension and find something enjoyable you like to do around town like.... panhandling on Clayton or vandalizing bulldog statues.... will your wife work? What business is she in?
You've picked a great area for quality of life, but there really is shite for job market here, at least for middle class type jobs.

She's a Special Ed teacher with masters plus a masters in school admin so could go principal track. She's looking at UGA for employment too. I could get into the real estate gig with a friend in the area or look at starting a pub. There is also a new brewery coming to town. Done the music thing too. Been thinking about an indie record company with the same real estate friend. Maybe I should look at working with UGA too and give back to my alma mater. I hear the chicken express on hwy 15 is hiring.
