Recently CNNMoney published a great article on the top 10 counties in the nation for job growth. As has often been the case with similar “Top 10” lists recently, Texas was well-represented, boasting 5 counties with strong employment records: Williamson, Hays, Webb, Collin and Fort Bend.

800px-Williamson_county_courthouse_2008Most impressive but probably least surprising is the fact that our very own Williamson County, home to the cities of Round Rock and Cedar Park, snagged the #2 spot on the list. The county boasted a staggering 58.9% employment growth between 2000 and 2009, second only to Lincoln County in South Dakota.

So, why has there been so much expansion in North Austin over the past decade? Economists have developed numerous explanations over the years: First, Williamson County offers easy access to Austin, the capital of Texas, which is home to the University of Texas at Austin, a highly-ranked state university. Also, with an array of high-quality schools, shopping and hospitals recently built and more on the way, the area has fantastic appeal for new and growing families.

CNNMoney, however, attributes much of “Wilco’s” growth to computer manufacturing powerhouse Dell, Inc., the county’s largest employer. Austin’s reputation for being a tech-friendly city has attracted many enterpreneurs to the area as well.

Whatever the reason, one thing is clear: The Greater Austin area is the place to be—always has been, and always will be!

Take care of yourselves and each other, and remember…

NOW you have options!

According to a 2011 investigation by the Department of Commerce, women held less than one quarter of all science, technology, engineering and math jobs, despite holding nearly half of all jobs nationwide. Boosting that share is both a matter of shifting the mindsets of young women and also of encouraging girls from a young age, say top women academic and business leaders. Part of the reason women remain a minority in math and the sciences is that the thinning out process starts early.

    How do you spell that? dapoxetine nasil temin edilir If you leave summer pruning of these cordons and espaliers until the end of August or early September, then you get fruit buds forming instead. Apparently commercial fruit orchards add calcium now, too, which stops trees growing, allowing the growth to lignify. Sibley also recommends following this with a winter prune, when you can thin the fruiting blossoms to regulate your crop. However, for standard (as opposed to restricted) apple and pear trees, he advocates winter pruning, to create the structure and architecture, with a follow-up of a light, early-summer pruning (before the longest day) to thin or rub out any crowded shoots.Plums, cherries and stone fruit are different: most pruning is carried out after fruiting but before the end of August.

    I’d like to send this to where to buy ventolin in singapore ghost Take life insurance, as an example: everybody dies. But that doesn’t mean all life insurance policies pay out: many of them expire before their holders do. And in general, the longer that you live, the more money that your life insurer will be able to make before having to pay out on your policy. And as with most other forms of insurance, life insurance is prone to black-swan events. US life insurers, for instance, dodged a bullet during the AIDS crisis: they were incredibly lucky that the disease hit populations — intravenous drug users, gay men — who tended not to hold much if any life insurance. If AIDS had hit young professionals with families instead, then it’s entirely possible we would have seen a mass of insurers going bust.
