President Trump on Monday hailed oil giant Exxon Mobil Corp.’s announcement of a major jobs and manufacturing plan for Texas and Louisiana.

Exxon said it has embarked on a $20 billion plan to build or update manufacturing and refining facilities on the Gulf Coast, something the company predicts will create 45,000 news jobs.

In a statement, Trump said that is “is exactly the kind of investment, economic development and job creation that will help put Americans back to work.”

“Many of the products that will be manufactured here in the United States by American workers will be exported to other countries, improving our balance of trade,” Trump added....

Oil and gas companies capex is all based on oil price and confidence, so this says a lot.

***************

U.S. President Donald Trump, who tapped former Exxon CEO Rex Tillerson for secretary of state,
praised the company’s spending plans as an example of “a true American success story.”
Most of the permanent jobs are expected to pay more than $100,000 per year.

Many engineers have left the profession and will not return to an uncertain and cyclical future in the oil industry.

Will this be the opening move of America’s energy independence program?

...create 45,000 news jobs.

How many are permanent and how many are temporary construction jobs?

And how many of us local people are going to be shafted out of those construction because out of area workers are shipped in?

It's happening now in Beaumont! Out of area workers were transferred to the new project.

It'll all be justified, but it's wrong.

Zachry Force Report Jan-Feb 2017 Page 25-26
Once that's done, I'll move to the site of another new Zachry project - the ExxonMobil Polyethylene Expansion (BPEX) - in Beaumot, Texas. I've already started working with the planning team for that project, preparing for 150 structural steel craft workers.

And almost all of them have been brought in from out of the area! There have only been a handful of job listings here. http://1800jobsusa.com/#All~Job~Categories|C::Beaumont!*!TX||t-ASC|1
8 jobs and only 3 in structural steel!

f (i) "Local labor" is defined as those qualified laborers or craftsmen who are residents or domiciliaries of the nine county regions...

The labor to date brought in is not local and Zachry's own Report proves it. (ii) will give them an out, but there are a lot of people around here who need those jobs and they're being taken by people from San Antonio and other areas!

THANKS EXXONMOBIL! Have you heard from Judge Branick's office yet?

P.S. as far as "domiciliaries" go...how many Zachry hands are getting per diem? If they are getting per diem they are not "local".

I don’t know, but if we keep using the fake DOL statistics the unemployment rate is going to be zero.

Read #15. Some of us aren't winning.
It's sad because Jefferson county went Republican in the last presidential election after decades of going Democratic.

My apologies for the rant.
