These drops in unemployment is not because of job growth in the city. It is because people are moving away to other major cities where there are more employment opportunities. People get tired of waiting around to see if employment is going to pick up or decline some more. I know I have had family members leave do to employment in other cities, only because they have lost jobs here in EL Paso and bills keep piling up and away they go, leaving El Paso and not looking back. They also can get assistance with needs for their family where here they may not get all the help or the assistance them may need while looking for employment.
