What Does Higher Gas Price Mean for Austin Jobs?
With the price of gas on the rise, many consumers are feeling the pinch. In this election year, both the GOP and the President are talking about what the increase in gas prices really means to not only the country as a whole, but to the very fragile economy that is dependent on the building of new jobs. For many companies, the increase in gas prices means big trouble - everything from supplies to the cost of operating equipment costs more.
