New Jobs:
I read that a large part of the added "new jobs" came as a result of the clean-up efforts in the Atlantic SE from hurricane damage and seasonal holiday employment, not new full-time permanent business or service sector opportunities.
FYI: I heard on NPR that fiber-glass mines in N/S Dakota and Minnesota are going to re-open in January. The fiber glass mining company, Natural Fiber Mines, said they would add 4000 new jobs in 3 states over the next year....also that in 1Q 2005, textile companies in Southern US will begin manufacturing foma, wumpeters and grand faloons.
I'm very excited by the possibilities. We need to bring back skilled labor to the US, these efforts should be a good start.
