I’m always amused by articles that are headlined “Jobs outlook uncertain for 2009”. No shit sherlock.
I was pleased, however, to learn that Boulder, Colorado is one of thirteen cities (“metropolitan areas”) out of 381 in the US that are actually growing.
The cities that are growing are Boulder, CO.; Lafayette and Louisiana, LA; Bethesda, MD; Jacksonville, NC; Binghamton, NY; Oklahoma City; OK.; State College, PA.; and Brownsville, El Paso, Laredo, McAllen, and San Antonio, TX.
I get LA, but Brownsville, El Paso, Laredo, and McAllen? Must have something to do with that electronic border fence thing.
