This disappointing news about the local job center is offset a tad by this more upbeat news about jobs in Kansas. We complain about the lack of economic activity in our area, but when times are bad we don't fall to the bottom of the barrel.
The workforce center at Strother was always a bit of a strange bird. There were so many different agencies and layers of government out there it was hard to figure out exactly what it's mission was. I'm not saying it didn't do good work, because I know some of the folks who worked there and how they tried to help both businesses and employers. Hopefully something even better will emerge.
It also looks like Cowley First is moving toward getting whole again. This would be a good thing. We need stability and leadership in that program for it to survive.
