W closes eyes and taps heels; Imaginary jobs increase

The Tampa Trib headline screams “Industries Report Lots Of New Jobs”! Hmmm, maybe I’m being too harsh on our pResident. Maybe the job picture is starting to turn around. Maybe the economy isn’t as bad as it seems...

Since last fall, Pasco's County's industrial sector has added nearly 500 jobs with 200 more in the wings for September, according to Bryan Kamm, the industry recruiter for the county's Economic Development Council.

Kamm reported the numbers - the highest job figures in the past three years - at the EDC's monthly board meeting Wednesday. The figures represent jobs businesses pledged to create, not necessarily jobs now filled, Kamm said.

Oh.
