It’s Jobs
Over at Rick Outzen’s place, Escambia County Property Appraiser Chris Jones cuts to the heart of the problem: We need jobs.
Mr. Jones was speaking about a number of issues centered around property taxes in Escambia County, and the reduced revenue that should be expected because of foreclosures, and depreciation cause by the collapse of the housing bubble and BP’s Gulf Gusher.
His main point was that there isn’t going to be a recovery until there are jobs.
Liz at Blonde Sense talks about the same issue, in regards to her son.
He graduated from college three years ago and hasn’t been able to land a decent job. Now he’s back in school working towards a degree in Nursing, hoping that it will give him a future of some kind.
