Here's a recent quote about the job market from a mysanantonio.com article:

While the job market tightened up slightly last month, experts are still calling San Antonio one of the best places in the country to find a job. It looks like the jobs will continue to come in three key areas. The medical, energy and manufacturing industries.

There are still new jobs coming to San Antonio, but there are still plenty of people looking for work at the Workforce Solutions Alamo office on the west side. Among those scouring the internet for work was David and Jeanette Medina. Both are looking for jobs. He's in the manufacturing business and she's a radiologist. If he gets a job first, they'll likely move to Fort Worth. But if she gets a job, it might mean staying here.

CDL Truck Drivers Absorbed by the Eagle Ford

Truck Drivers are in short supply in South Texas. The number of CDL drivers beginning to turn over at an alarming rate and it just so happens to be timed with a pressing need from the oil & gas industry. If more than 3,000 drivers were need last year, I can't imagine what that number has grown to over 2011. The South Texas job marketing is booming in every direction as exploration and production, as well as service companies open offices throughout the Eagle Ford.

"But as the need for truckers is growing, the labor pool is contracting. As a generation of drivers retires at a faster pace than new ones enter the profession, the industry is experiencing alarming turnover rates: 75 percent in the first quarter of 2011 for drivers at large truckload fleets, up from 39 percent a year earlier, according to the American Trucking Associations.""In Texas, which has more than 16,000 registered trucking companies, the increase in oil activity has exacerbated the shortage as companies struggle to compete with the higher wages some oil-service companies pay drivers."

"But even with the Eagle Ford shale luring droves of truckers (an estimated 3,070 were needed last year), there still aren't enough drivers in the region, said Glynis Holm Strause, dean of institutional advancement at Coastal Bend College, a community college that offers driver training programs in the area."

Alice, TX is just the latest town in a series of many that are reporting on the oil boom in South Texas. The Eagle Ford Shale has filled hotels for what will likely be many years to come. Sales tax revenue is up almost across the board and the great thing is activity should continue to grow over the coming months.
