Telecom corridor

Post #47,191 by ChrisR 7/27/02 2:15:58 PM Reply	Telecom corridor That strip of land in North Dallas, Richardson, and Plano was/is way too dependent on Telecom. The stocks for these companies has been in a free fall for the last 2 years and is not necessarily related to the latest stock market downturn. Telecom suckage is reflected more in the precipitous drop in the Nasdaq, from the high of 5000, rather than the Dow or S&P. I personally don't think the Stock Market crash of '29 was the cause of the Depression - just a rather visible clue that something wasn't right with the economy. The root cause is probably more tied to the destruction of European economies in WWI and the collapse of world trade.

When I left, the Sunday Post had 4-6 pages of software developer listings and I could usually get some job in a day - a real plumb might take a few weeks. Now there's maybe half a column of really crummy jobs. Denver's market is largely telco and cable. I am out of the country for the duration of the Bush administration.

Nowadays Houston has a diverse enough economy that a slump in a single area isn't that bad. Austin's been going through the same thing the past couple of years due to the dot com crash.
