Austin Jobless Rate “Climbs” to 3.3%!

According to a recent article in the Austin American Statesman the Austin unemployment rate “rose” to 3.3% up from 3.2% in September. Now what city wouldn’t be envious of a 3.3% unemployment rate! I guess newspapers have sell print so that was the basic headline. Fact of the matter is that area employers actually have added 29,000 jobs since September 2014. That number would represent the population of a small city. To attract workers many employers are not only offering attractive wages but throwing in perks to snag the best qualified. How about working from home so new hires don’t have to clog our roads.
