Statewide employment on the rise

The Texas Employment Forecast by the Federal Reserve Bank of Dallas announced that the state’s employment will increase 2.1 percent this year.

The state will add 263,700 jobs during 2019, and employment in December of this year will reach 12.9 million, according to the forecast.

“After strong growth in June and July, Texas jobs decelerated in August and September,” said Keith R. Phillips, Dallas Fed assistant vice president and senior economist. “The weakness in oil and gas extraction is spilling over to other sectors such as transportation and warehousing, which experienced job losses in both August and September. Manufacturing employment continues to grow at a good pace, however, in part driven by continued strength in petrochemical and refining activity. Construction activity also remains robust.”

Invasion Of The Squatters

No good thing comes without a price, as real estate agents are finding out that web-based virtual tours may be attracting squatters to vacant homes.

They might be scoring drugs, or just looking for a roof over their heads, but it’s happening, and arrests have been made.

“Ever since Arizona police arrested a couple found squatting inside an Opendoor home with two children and a cache of drug paraphernalia in September, agents have been discussing safety issues they see with iBuyer homes,” states an article on Inman.com.
