Yes, the CNN Express Bus in here in Austin, apparently doing a story about Austin and the economy. According to CNN’s Tom Foreman, “some analysts are saying Austin, Texas, may be a national leader in economic recovery” http://ow.ly/1bqKG
Well, I know too many people that have lost their jobs or can’t live in their homes anymore. Some may not be un-employed, but sure are UNDER-employed. It does not mean that you can afford to live here. I personally am tired of struggling myself. It’s just so hard I can’t stand it sometimes! So I want to know, if we are going to be a leader in the national economic recovery, will the new companies hire the people that lost their jobs during the last 10 years? Or are they just going to hire new/straight from college workers, with no experience, that they can pay almost nothing to. Or are they going to bring workers from wherever they came from. Just to let you know, between all the high-tech employers that have laid off workers in Austin the last 10 years or so, there is a pool of incredible, talented workers, that have given up on finding a decent paying job and are working for minimum wage just to get by. They are engineers, technicians, etc. with years of experience. Think about them first and give them a chance, before looking elsewhere.
