Good morning, this is El Paso Local Pulse for January 10, 2025. We're starting off the week with some exciting news about our city's tech scene. According to recent data, Full Stack Developers are in high demand, with a projected growth of 27% and an annual median salary of $92,000. This is largely driven by major companies like Microsoft, Intel, ADP, and Datamark, which are investing heavily in our city. Microsoft's new data center alone is expected to bring over 1,000 high-paying jobs by 2025[1].
In other job market news, El Paso employment increased by an annualized 0.8% from August through November, with education and health services experiencing the largest gains. However, the unemployment rate ticked up slightly to 4.6% in November, which is higher than both the state's and the nation's jobless rates[5].
Moving on to city hall, some employees of the City of El Paso are set to receive a pay increase following a recent decision by the city council. The minimum wage paid by the city will increase from $13.61 to $15.75 an hour, effective February 23. This is a significant milestone for the city's workforce and a direct result of strong leadership and collaboration[2].
In terms of real estate, we don't have any major updates today, but we'll keep an eye on any notable commercial or residential property sales and new development projects.
The weather today is expected to be sunny with a high of 58 degrees, making it a great day to get outdoors and enjoy our city's parks and trails. However, we do want to remind everyone to stay safe and aware of their surroundings, especially in areas affected by recent weather conditions.
In new business activity, we're seeing a surge in tech startups and companies investing in our city. This is creating a vibrant ecosystem for entrepreneurs and professionals alike. We'll keep you updated on any new openings, closings, or major changes in the business scene.
Looking ahead to the next few days, there are several community events worth checking out. The El Paso Museum of Art is hosting a free family day on Saturday, and the El Paso Zoo is offering discounted admission for military families on Sunday.
In local school achievements, the El Paso Independent School District recently announced that several of its students have been selected for the National Honor Society. Congratulations to these talented students!
Finally, in today's crime report, we want to remind everyone to be vigilant and report any suspicious activity to the authorities. There have been no major incidents in the past 24 hours, but we'll keep you updated on any significant developments.
This has been El Paso Local Pulse. We'll see you tomorrow with more local updates.
