By Jim Surber
There are things that get a person to thinking. As an example, we all
know that the United States has been in the middle of an unemployment
crisis, since an estimated: 6.3 million fewer Americans have jobs than
at the end of 2007. At the same time it is also reported that the
country’s economic output is higher today than it was before the
financial crisis. The logical first question is, “Where did the jobs

FROM
THE EDITOR... ON THE INSIDE - TODAY IS WEDNESDAY, JANUARY 11,
2012 |
I’ve often discussed with my classes and in some of my “opinions” that
as the economy (ie jobs) evolves, we have to evolve with it. We adapt
and move forward. Darke County Engineer Jim Surber has raised concerns
that never occurred to me. If you care about “jobs,” then this is a
MUST read. Also in News: More than half of firms fail to meet job creation promises.
Sports: Eldora Speedway Annual Awards Ceremony Set.
Events: Darke T.E.A. Patriots meeting notice.
