Daytona Beach Employment
One of the best things about Daytona and Volusia county is the abundance of career opportunities.
Whether you're an entrepreneur or a corporate executive, Volusia County has a position for you.
All of this coupled with a low cost of living index and the fact, that  there is no state or local income tax, means you take home more.
