Jobs in the Thumb is 'Job One'

I want to get this blog going again and I am going to give it the theme of jobs for the area. I think Port Huron and surroundings, St. Clair County and then some distance more could be the new hub for the emerging economy.

The automobile industry and Detroit aren't going to do it, in fact they want to hurt it. Detroit's automotive industry has been responsible for the loss of hundreds of jobs in St. Clair County in the past year.

And Detroit isn't helping as the area gets set to accept a new casino at the Blue Water Bridge, Detroit's mayor is doing his best to thwart it.

I want to keep the theme here as ideas on getting new jobs to the area, preferably hi-tech ones that require some college or training.

I don't want to discourage those that have no college, but invite them to complete that high school diploma or GED and then go to school be it St. Clair Community College, Baker College or other college in the state.

This blog is open for discussion and I promise to keep this blog going and to add excitement to it and am hoping for suggestions, perhaps monthly meetings of citizens with ideas or even the means to start something going.

We had an idea man in this community over 100 years ago. We can have one again.
