If you can't read it, that headline announcing the resort is hiring 5,300 people claims that "state and national unemployment rates reach record highs." Now, I hadn't heard THAT. In the text, they mention Nevada unemployment is at 6.4 percent, the highest since 1994, but even a city as young as this one has to know that that's not all-time. That's just 14 years ago. And nationally, unemployment is at 5.5 percent. Not a record. Or near one. No, it's not a "mental recession," but still.
I just wonder why the Wynn folks needed to gussy up something that is already pretty good news for a lot of people, that someone in Vegas is hiring 5,000+ people.
Here's the video news release they created in hopes that TV stations will use it within alteration. Believe it or not, many do. Elaine Wynn, of course, looks terrific. I noticed they didn't have any dealers in there, hmm?
Gotta drive to Kingman now. Will be gone all day. Behave, everyone. If you want to go work for Wynn and, perhaps, avoid the bread lines, click here.
