Can anyone in or around Newport News VA tell me how the job outlook is there?

Im considering a major move, from Detroit to Newport News Va but I would like to know how the job market is there. As Im sure everyone knows by now, jobs in Michigan are super hard to find, companies are collapsing like Dominos and I just dont see a real future here.
I have a friend who owns a construction company in VA and Ive been seriously considering a move down there. I would be working in the dental field but I would like to have an overall view of newport. Anything you can tell me would be greatly appreciated, even if its not job related. Have you visited newport? Tell me what you thought...

I live in Portsmouth which is 10 miles from Newport News. It would be great for your field. Hampton roads is a great area for you to find work in your field. Now about the area Newport News is the most urban like city down here in the 7 cities (hampton roads) But overall I love living here and you may to!!!!!!
