Tom Pauken Texas Workforce Commission Chairman
AMARILLO, TEXAS -- Texas Workforce Commission Chairman Tom Pauken was live on ProNews 7 at 6 Wednesday evening.
One of the major topics was unemployment. Overall, Pauken says, the national economy is having adverse effects on ours here in Texas, but Amarillo still has one of the best unemployment numbers in the state at about six percent.
Pauken credits our commodity prices for that low number, even though in recent months unemployment has been rising.
Alternative energy, like wind power, is also part of our good fortune, says Pauken.
