More job growth in Austin

Continuing on a theme from yesterday's post, here are more articles from today's Austin American-Statesman:

•·         More investment in the local office market - Spear Street buys lone University Park office building

•·         Expansion of an existing employer - AT&T adding space, employees in Austin

•·         More high tech expansion - 1,000 eBay jobs proposed for Austin

•·         New investment in a local growth company - Austin game tools company raises $6.1 million in venture capital

Of course, City Council still must vote on the requested incentives for eBay, and there is never a guarantee on the success of a start-up company (although this is a substantial 2^nd-round investment).  Nonetheless, each of these stories represents confidence in the economic and financial strength of Austin and our healthy supply of high-skill employees.

The future is bright in Austin, Texas.
