Fort Worth Weekend Pulse: Holiday Cheer, Job Openings, and Community Resilience
Good morning, this is Fort Worth Local Pulse for Saturday, December 7, 2024.
We're starting off with some holiday cheer as Fort Worth gears up for a festive weekend. The first full weekend in December brings a slew of new holiday events, including music, dance, and theater performances. If you're looking for something to do, consider checking out the Fort Worth Stockyards, where Christmas festivities kicked off last week. For those interested in comedy, Hyena's is presenting Billy Gardell, best known for his role as Bob in the CBS series Mike & Molly[1].
Moving on to the job market, Dallas-Fort Worth has seen steady employment growth, adding approximately 75,000 jobs in the past 12 months, which is a 1.7% increase compared to the previous year. This growth is nearing the national rate of 1.3%[2]. If you're looking for a new opportunity, the City of Fort Worth has several job openings across various departments, including Environmental Services, Water, and Park & Recreation. Applications for these positions are closing soon, so be sure to check the city's job board for more information[5].
In local news, the FBI has been in the headlines recently, and we're keeping an eye on any developments that might affect our community. Meanwhile, the Wreaths Across America DFW is still short on wreaths as their deadline approaches, so if you're looking to contribute, now's the time[4].
Weather-wise, it's going to be a chilly day with increasing rainfall, so make sure to bundle up if you're planning on heading out. This might impact some of the outdoor events scheduled for today, so it's a good idea to check for any cancellations before you go[4].
On the business front, there haven't been any major announcements recently, but we're always on the lookout for new openings and significant changes in our local business scene.
Looking ahead to the next few days, there are plenty of community events to enjoy. The anime convention and screenings of a new documentary are just a couple of highlights. For sports fans, there's a big day of college basketball coming up[1].
In local school achievements, we're proud to see our high school football teams making it to the regional playoffs. Check out the schedules and results for the 2024 Class 6A Texas high school football regional playoffs[4].
Finally, in a feel-good community story, an Arlington woman recently survived a 'widow-maker' heart attack and is sharing her gratitude for the medical care she received. It's a reminder of the importance of community support and the excellent healthcare services available in our area[4].
This has been Fort Worth Local Pulse. We'll see you tomorrow with more local updates.
