With formal records indicating one out of ten adults out of work and the real situation even worse, competition for the declining number of jobs available will certainly be fierce.

Interior plan will sink Chincoteague IT IS IRONIC THAT Interior Secretary Ken Salazar cites new jobs and job creation when pushing Fort Monroe through as a national park. This is the same department that is trying to destroy jobs on the Eastern Shore with its new Comprehensive Conservation Plan.
