1. Where? In China? (Er, pardon my snark. I find actual US jobs hard to believe.) nt

[EC]

4. We've got real jobs open in my town

that were not there months ago. All that were listed for about the last 6-7 years now have been bartending and truck driving or just plain rip-off fake jobs...finally there are job listings for administrative, sales and accounting positions.

3. I know there were 2 notices in our local paper that two businesses

were adding jobs to our area. One is a bakery that is building a facility n the localindustrial park and when complete would ad an initial 150 employees and another 100 in the following year. The other is building a new 100 bed hospital.

Even though the actual jobs ot these two facilities won't added for about 9 months to 2 years, there sure will be construction obs added right away. That significant for a relatively small city like Gainesville, Ga.

I've also read several notices in the Atlanta paper about businesses moving into this area.

6. businesses closing everywhere where I live and have been for a very long time

but if you want to come down here to Fla and open a business there are thousands of available store fronts!

Come on down!! You can have your pickings of locations!! Resturants and Hotels as well!..hell you can find Ocean front cheap now too! Since no one can sell a damn thing!! And property values are the lowest I have ever seen ..even ocean front!!

heck 1 million $ plus condo's are being auctioned some as low as $250,000.!!! and still they can't sell them!

It's just booming..yawn.............

8. Oh yes...

We live in the Lehigh Valley, an area hit by the demise of the industrial
economy: in the past 20 years, Bethlehem steel crashed,
the garment industry went to Mexico, Mack Truck moved south.
And unemployment rose...
The only industry that ticked upward was new home construction,
due to the failure of family farms in the area,sales of farmland
a growing increase of families moving out of the New York City area
for the lower cost of Pennsylvania.
We know how that housing market thing worked out.

BUT just this past month, I've heard of companies calling
the laid off workers back.
I heard of labor unions calling back folks to former jobs,
and new industries hiring (Amazon opened a warehouse in the ares)-

Something is moving on the grassroots...
it might not be the jobs people had,
but opportunties to work are opening up.
