Mobile Economy - How Long To Recovery?
 

Austal has two more contracts. TK steel plant is starting up. Things are looking up. What is your feeling about the recovery?

I think we are better than many areas, but I am concerned still. Retail is down, welfare is up. We will see what happens, but what I see is alot more people on food stamps and section 8 housing. I am sure this is everywhere...and were certainly better than detroit :p

If Congress decides to build 10 more of the LCS-2 class Littoral Combat Ships, should be a really good thing for the Mobile economy. Should make Austal a steady source of employment for quite some time.

I saw on the cover of the press register where that was approved.

Hello from Kentucky. I was wondering if the gulf shores area or Mobile in general, is a good place to live and work, as far as job opportunities and cost of living?

Job market is good.
Cost of living is good.
Quality of life is great. (If you like fishing, going to the beach, and having a good time in general)
