"Indiana Jail Death, Fallen Trooper Honored, Hiring Uptick, I-465 Closures, and More Local News"
Good morning, this is Indianapolis Local Pulse for Saturday, December 7, 2024.
We start with breaking news from the past few days. The Indiana State Police are investigating an inmate death at the Wayne County Jail, and a memorial is being built to honor a fallen state trooper. Additionally, a Lebanon mother was arrested after choking her son in a trailer park, and a homicide suspect was arrested after a second unrelated shooting[1].
Moving on to the job market, hiring is expected to pick up in early 2024, according to Robert Half Recruiters & Employment Agency. Almost 60% of companies plan to add new full-time jobs, and 39% plan to fill vacated jobs. The Bureau of Labor Statistics reports that total nonfarm payroll employment increased by 199,000 in November, and the unemployment rate edged down to 3.7%[2]. Currently, Indiana's unemployment rate stands at 3.6%, with 93,485 open job postings throughout the state as of November 1, 2024[5].
In real estate news, there are no major commercial or residential property sales to report today. However, construction on I-465 Northbound is expected to restrict traffic, so commuters should plan accordingly[1].
From city hall, we have updates on decisions that affect daily life. The city is still working to make a dangerous intersection safer, and a new 'peanut' roundabout has opened at a previously hazardous intersection in Beech Grove[4].
Weather-wise, it's going to be a chilly day today, with temperatures expected to rise later in the week. We recommend checking the latest forecast for updates on storm chances and cooler temperatures[1].
In new business activity, Amazon has announced that Prime Day will return on July 16 and 17, 2024, offering various deals and discounts[1].
Upcoming community events include the Colts training camp, which kicks off on July 25th, and the NBA All-Star Weekend, which had a significant economic impact on the city[1].
In local school achievements, the Avon marching band made an appearance in the Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade[4].
For a feel-good community story, volunteers from the Mozel Sanders Foundation prepared thousands of Thanksgiving meals for those in need[4].
In today's crime report, a warrant has been issued for an Indy man after a shooting left one in critical condition, and a suspect was arrested after a deadly apartment shooting[1][4].
This has been Indianapolis Local Pulse. We'll see you tomorrow with more local updates.
