US Economy: News & Discussion
"Many places" as in employers with low skill jobs who cannot find immigrants anymore? Or do you expect a first officer with a major airline to work in the fields in lieu of a $150K/year job? Many of these airline employees etc are high skill and aren't just going to work at McDonalds.

US Economy: News & Discussion
It isn't being discussed much, but by the middle of October we will probably see the unemployment numbers skyrocketing as the PPP money runs out.

Cleveland: Crime & Safety Discussion
It's common knowledge that Cleveland Clinic tries to avoid Medicaid patients the best they can, so these kinds of policing stats are hardly surprising either.

Ohio: Recycling News & Info
NPR in depth story on recycling plastic (or lack there of). This makes me really sad.

Cleveland: Population Trends

Cleveland Hopkins International Airport
True--except that the City of Cleveland is not a very good aviation business manager. They are not ones to be out hustling in Seattle to woo Amazon, or similar business to take up the IX center as a hub. On the Burke Lakefront thread I have pointed out in the past that there are actually the same amount of aviation related businesses at CGF managed by the county than BKL/CLE combined.

What will be tough to make work are the labor costs, which are staggeringly higher at the Huntington Convention center vs the IX (which was non-union).
