What are the people that move going to do for jobs? It would seem like an influx of 20K people would create an employment drought!

Jobs are not a physical resource that is fixed in quantity; they are contracts between producers and consumers, which flourish in a free economy. Not to mention the fact that those 20k people are consumers as well as producers.

Yeah, yeah, I realize how my question may have sounded, but I get the gist of employment economics (just the basics). However, I have never heard of a major relocation of 20K people. I could imagine some quantity of them the entreprenurial (sp?) but not a large quantity. In the original post, I kinda took it as a short period of time for them to all move, from further reading I understand it is a slow growth situation. Much easier, people relocate and the economy grows with it.
