The state unemployment rate is lower than the national average, according to an online article taken from KXAN, Austin. The website http://www.kxan.com/Global/story.asp?S=9040396 gives a positive outlook for the current unemployment numbers. The devastation from Hurricane Ike is also cited as being a catalyst for job growth in the state.
Speaking of hurricane Ike, I found this article very fascinating. I'm not quite sure if everyone has seen the picture of the lone house in Gilchrist. It's pretty surreal just to look at, everything is completely destroyed, it almost looks as if a nuclear bomb went off. Here is the web address for the article. It comes from a CNN, IREPORTER, http://www.ireport.com/blogs/ireport-blog/2008/09/18/the-last-house-standing I'm willing to bet that contractor is going to be extremely busy now. Personally I'd like to shake the guys hand!
