How's that again?

 

Jim Salsbury of Garland says in his 45 years of work in the business community, he's never seen an employer hire because of a good economy. He says the only reason employers hire is because they have more work than can be done with their current employees.

 

How's that again, Jim? You don't think a good economy has anything to do with employers having "more work than can be done with their current employees"? You think someone never starts a new business unless he already has a bunch of orders for goods or services? You think a successful businessman never looks at a neighboring community and thinks to himself that he just might open a store there because the people seem to be prospering?

 

Well, Jim, all I can say about your 45 years in the business world is that you've not been very observant.
