Austin as Employment Central

In the Austin American Statesman I found an editorial called Austin as Employment Central. This editorial explains how unemployment has reached 6.9 percent, but January ended with good economic news for people in Austin. I thought this was interesting because, there is going to be an opportunity for people gain hundreds of jobs and it will be able to help so many people out financially. The two companies are Hanger Orthopedic Group Inc., and the pending of the LegalZoom Company. Both companies will be able to offer plenty of jobs as well as benefits to their employees. If the local government goes through with bringing both of the companies to Austin, I think it will have a huge influence on so many people’s lives. This editorial was enjoyable to read and I would definitely recommend it to anyone who is interested in the local government and economies current events.
