Energy & Quality of Life

Many of our local companies still employ the majority of their associates despite this economic downturn. Over 90% of Montgomery County residents still have a job to go to although they might not be seeing many overtime hours.
Montgomery County is fortunate to have a diverse business base and we have added around 100 quality jobs over the last 6 months. This has helped even out some of the job losses we’ve experienced over the same time period. With that being said, we are still twice as high in unemployment as we were this time last year.
