Good morning, this is El Paso Local Pulse for December 22, 2024.
We're starting with breaking news from the past few days. A dramatic rescue took place in Fabens, where a kidnapped victim was held underground. Arrest reports reveal the details of this harrowing incident. Additionally, a crash on I-10 west near Airway resulted in one person being critically injured, and a motorcyclist died in a west El Paso crash, with the driver charged with DWI and a weapons offense.
Moving on to our job market snapshot, El Paso has seen steady employment growth, with a 1.6% increase over the past year, adding approximately 5,500 jobs. The mining, logging, and construction sector expanded by 4.1%, while education and health services grew by 2.7%. However, the unemployment rate has risen slightly to 4.5%, surpassing both the state and national averages. The average hourly wage stands at $22.07, marking a 4.7% decrease from the previous year[2].
In real estate news, there haven't been any major announcements in the past few days, but we'll keep an eye on any developments.
From city hall, there are no significant updates that affect daily life, but we do have some road closures to note. TxDOT has announced road closures happening from December 22 through 28, so plan your routes accordingly[1][5].
Weather-wise, today is expected to be sunny with a high of 70 degrees. Perfect weather for outdoor activities, but do remember to stay hydrated.
In new business activity, Big Lots is launching 'going out of business' sales as closure looms. On a more positive note, El Paso venues are adopting cashless payments and clear bag policies to enhance security and convenience.

In local school achievements, there's been a report revealing NMSU's failures in addressing a 'toxic locker room culture', which is a concerning issue that needs attention.
On a feel-good note, Helen Hunt has explored El Paso's cultural tapestry in a captivating short documentary, showcasing the rich history and diversity of our city.
