Things in Central Ohio around Columbus seem to be pretty good, lots of construction of new buildings downtown, housing is going strong all around the big city, lots of jobs going begging in some industries. Amazon opened two fulfillment centers in the area and are making on the spot job offers for full time jobs. They also opened a data center here too. Things seem to be on an even keel in the outlying cities. Some big retailers have closed stores but not many in my area. In our county seat Sears and K-Mart and an old time family owned furniture store have closed. The JC Penney at the mall seems to be safe for now, the mall itself is up for sale from the creditors who took it over from the owners. Starting price: $7M. Stores like Kohls, Menards, Lowes and WalMart seem to be doing well. Kroger is building big new store on the site of the old K-Mart. Rumor around town is that Rural King is looking for a site. A number of small restaurants are opening. A newer Asian restaurant (Chinese, Japanese, Thai, etc.) has become one of our favorites. The local old time glass-making company is still having problems (they compete with the foreign made glass tableware) and they are slowly sinking, but the effect on the city is less than it was at one time.
My company, a big insurer and financial services company, is doing well and growing. Weather and auto losses are hurting, as they are every company but we'll get through it. We just got a new batch of interns and a lot of them will get job offers once the summer is over, if they are looking for a job at that time. Especially valued are the actuarial and analytics interns. If your kid has a math aptitude, actuarial science is a good course of study, they will have companies competing for their services the rest of their career and "head hunters" calling them constantly. Some of us old timers that were hired in the late 70's early 80's during a growth spurt are reaching retirement age and the will open up jobs in various areas.
