Best Place To Live In Ohio For Arizona Electrician?

My husband is an Electrician for 20+ years in Arizona. Next month we will be moving to Ohio. Does Anyone have input on the best area to live for his work background. We are trying to get away from big cities and like more of a country living area. We do like New Philadelphia area, but there are not many jobs there. We do not mind an hour drive to get places as we are very used to that if not more. Also looking for a house to rent for under $1000 per month. I run a EBay Business from home and we have 2 children 13 and 12, and a Lhasa 19 month old baby. Any help or ideas would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

1. Columbus is an up and coming area. The city of Columbus is not a big city and there are rural areas just outside the city as well as suburbs with great schools and affordable housing. Columbus is about 2.5 hours south of Cleveland and about the same amount of time west of Pittsburgh which are probably the biggest cities nearby. There are a lot of jobs opening up in Columbus compared to the rest of the state (though I dont know about the electician field in general). Good luck.
