The prosperity and growth synonymous with north Alabama in recent years is now facing a reckoning.

The region is confronting workforce demands to fill the thousands of jobs flooding to the area without the workforce to fill them, according to a labor market analysis commissioned by north Alabama elected leaders. It’s a dramatic counterweight to years of headline-grabbing job growth in the area as the time fast approaches to put workers into those jobs.


quote:

The numbers, according to Buelow: The Huntsville area must fill about 25,000 new jobs by 2023. And this demand comes at a time when Alabama is enjoying a record-low unemployment rate of 2.8 percent further strained by an unemployment rate of 2.1 percent in the Huntsville area.

"The only way to get some of those people is to get some of them to move here," Buelow said.

Any of you economically depressed Louisiana Baws who are skilled (I know it’s like 1/10000000 in LA) come on down and enjoy economic prosperity in the land of milk and honey.

My company has been in a hiring frenzy for like a year straight

The growth of Huntsville is insane. I just hope they can keep the infrastructure growing with it. Suburban sprawl is going to cause major problems down the line eventually.

I know in my neighborhood in Madison two FBI agents just moved in and they were both previously stationed in D.C. They said there’s a lot more coming.

The unemployment rate in Alabama is effectively zero. There are more jobs than there are people to fill them. It is sad to see Louisiana going in the opposite direction with JBE. I couldn't believe that after being re-elected the first things he was talking about were raising the minimum wage and gender pay equity. He seems determined to destroy more jobs in his second term.

The interstates are at critical level. I have been through Huntsville to Madison twice in the past 4 months.

Both trips jarred the fillings out of my teeth.

You talking about 565 or 72? Either way I drive them daily and they are pristine especially 565.
