Where are the jobs in our area?

Where are the jobs in our town?
Being done: City, county, emergency, rescue and hospital services during the stressful ice storm are being paid for by stimulus money.
Being done: The major stimulus is the removal of broken limbs from our neighborhoods. This is done by with funds from the federal government. The limbs can be later chipped and made into compost for our vegetable and flower gardens and trees.
Being done: Gas and electrical workers are checking for leaks and hazards caused by the placement of new poles along the roadway.
Waiting for funds: Our superintendent of schools building needs a new roof; the last wind storm stood all the shingles strait up and blew the other half away.
Waiting for funds: All of our roads are buckled and in need of repair.
Waiting for funds: We had a city street wash away during a spring storm last year and it is waiting for funding to fix at the moment it is just sawhorses and yellow tape blocking the roadway.
