"Buy Local, Grow El Paso: Holiday Shopping, Job Updates, and Community Connections"
Good morning, this is El Paso Local Pulse for Saturday, December 7, 2024.
We're starting off with some exciting news for local shoppers. Today is Buy El Paso Day, a citywide event encouraging residents to shop at local businesses. With over 70 participating businesses, you can explore a wide range of products, from fashion and food to unique, custom-made items that reflect the spirit of our borderland community. By shopping on Buy El Paso Day, customers have the chance to take home a limited-edition stadium bag or an exclusive Buy El Paso Day t-shirt designed by local artists. Plus, shoppers can enter a giveaway on Instagram to win more than $100 in gift cards from local businesses and a limited edition mug or exclusive pint glass[1].
Moving on to the job market, recent data shows that El Paso's employment has seen some positive growth. From July through October, employment increased at an annualized rate of 3.9 percent, adding approximately 3,400 jobs. Professional and business services experienced the largest gains, followed by education and health services. However, the unemployment rate ticked up to 4.5 percent in October, which is higher than both the state's and the nation's jobless rates[5].
In other news, the city is still in the process of selecting a new city manager. The selection process has been met with some controversy, with concerns raised about transparency and equity. The finalists were selected by the city council members and the mayor, with four internal candidates making the cut. The process is ongoing, and we'll keep you updated on any developments[3].
Looking at the weather, today is expected to be sunny with a high of 56 degrees. It's a great day to get out and enjoy some of the local events happening around the city. However, residents in West El Paso are facing water woes after a second line break this week, so be sure to check for any updates on that situation[4].
In business news, Albertsons in Horizon City recently celebrated its opening with gift cards and $100,000 in grants. This is a significant development for the area and provides more shopping options for residents[4].
For upcoming community events, don't forget to check out the holiday campaign to provide Christmas gifts to El Paso's foster children. It's a wonderful way to give back to the community during the holiday season[4].
In local sports, UTEP volleyball's historic run has sparked hope for an even brighter future. Despite a recent loss, the team's achievements are something to be proud of[4].
On a more serious note, police are seeking the driver in a deadly Lower Valley crash that killed a 64-year-old woman. Our thoughts are with the family and loved ones affected by this tragedy[4].
Finally, in a feel-good community story, local residents are coming together to support each other through various holiday campaigns and events. It's a reminder of the strong community spirit here in El Paso.
