Top 5 hints for transporting/moving to this state
You need to prepare yourself for some extreme weather. Move to New Jersey, and you’ll finally understand the word “blizzard.” Waterproof boots and a quality car battery are essentials. In the summer, there are around 30 thunderstorms across the state. The state can also experience multiple power outages due to extreme weather, so ensure you’ve got an emergency plan.
New Jersey might be the fourth-smallest state by landmass, but it is the most population-dense state in the US.
The state is home to some of the fastest-growing job sectors, including home health care, operations, nursing, physical therapy, optometry, diagnostic imagery, and occupational therapy.
You might find that everything in New Jersey is a little more expensive than you’re accustomed to. The cost of living is slightly higher than the national average, which means it’s not a cheap place to live.
There are some weird traffic laws in the state. Traffic circles are something you need to get used to, along with a thing called the Jersey Jughandle. This is a ramp on the right side of the road that you use to make left-hand turns on busy roads.
