We also contribute greatly to World Vision and to the Acumen Fund outside of Squidoo. Check out this month's Squidoo earnings (copied from Squidoo's dashboard) and where our donations went to:
There is talk of a major public works project for the Northwest that could help create close to 50,000 jobs. The plan to create these jobs would involve funding for the Bonneville Power Administration to expand their transmission system. In the Northwest Bonneville produces about one-third of the region's electricity, which comes from 31 dams along the Columbia River and miles of high voltage transmission lines. This possible project would fit hand in hand with the new government's support of green energy. The biggest energy source east of the Cascades is wind. There is about 2,000 megawatts produced in the Northwest; that is enough to power two cities the size of Seattle.
The Tri-Cities job market is expected to be among the strongest in the nation in the fourth quarter, according to the Manpower Employment Outlook Survey released Sept. 9. About 73 percent of the local companies interviewed for the survey plan to hire additional employees in the months ahead and about 27 percent of the respondents expect to retain their current staff levels.
