Since 2008, our economy locally and nationally has struggled this fight against unemployment rates. Citizens have watched this number continue to increase, and cause major downfall for the people of our nation. We have all seen the repercussions of this rise of unemployment rates causing new college graduates to sit at home waiting for job opportunities, many foreclosures, and millions of people finding themselves laid off with no job just to name a few negative impacts. Little by little, unemployment gave the citizens of our nation and state less hope day by day of new change and improvement.
Reading around through local press an article concerning unemployment changes caught my eye, of course. The Daily Texan, a local newspaper ran by UT students, recently released an article discussing how Texas is seeing major changes in our unemployment rates. In their article published January 25th, 2013, they state that records from The Texas Commission Workforce show unemployment rates falling to their lowest percentages since 2008 and our economic downfall. The article did also state that Austin and its surrounding areas are actually seeing a small increase in unemployment rates but say it is due to seasonal changes and nothing quite substantial enough to see many repercussions. Last, the article discusses how many more opportunities will come of this new percentage of unemployment rates for all the new college students. The Texas Commission Workforce shows a lot of faith in college students finding work in their area of degree right out of college as the years pass. This is great news for everyone! For years citizens have lost so much hope for their future and it's nice to finally see the light at the end of this long dark tunnel our nation and state has dealt with.
Overall, The Daily Texan article is intriguing to read for the students who are worried about not finding jobs after getting their degree, and stressed to the point they are considering changing their major because of it. Honestly, for anyone it is hopeful to see a major decrease in unemployment rates. It inspires hope for all our citizens in Texas. I believe this short, yet essential article of information is necessary to read.
