Published 1 year, 4 months ago
Description
Good morning, this is Fort Worth Local Pulse for Friday, December 13, 2024. We're starting off with some breaking news from the past few days. On December 5, Fort Worth Police found the body of a 32-year-old mother of four, Taterea McGuire, in a field on Greenbelt Road. Her boyfriend, LeDarren Tilley, has been charged with murder. Our thoughts are with the family during this difficult time.
Moving on to the job market, we see a mixed picture. According to recent data, Dallas-Fort Worth added approximately 75,000 jobs in the 12 months ending in October, growing at a rate of 1.7% compared to a year earlier. The unemployment rate in the area stands at 3.9%, slightly below the Texas state rate. Major industries contributing to employment include construction, finance, and professional services. Companies like Jacobs Engineering and CBRE are hiring for various roles in these sectors.
In real estate news, there haven't been any major announcements in the past few days, but we'll keep an eye on any significant developments. For now, let's focus on what's happening around town. The weather today is expected to be chilly, so make sure to bundle up if you're planning on attending any of the weekend events.
Speaking of events, there's a lot happening in Fort Worth this weekend. The Texas Ballet Theater is presenting The Nutcracker at Bass Performance Hall from December 13 to 29. If you're looking for something different, Billy Strings is in concert at Billy Bob's Texas, and Richard Marx will be performing on Sunday. For families, the Fort Worth Youth Orchestra's Holiday Concert at I.M. Terrell Academy on Sunday is a great way to get into the holiday spirit.
In local school news, we don't have any major achievements to report today, but we're always proud of our local students and athletes. On a feel-good note, the Fort Worth community is coming together to support local businesses and events, showcasing the vibrant culture of our city.
On a more serious note, our crime report includes the aforementioned arrest in connection with the tragic death of Taterea McGuire. We urge everyone to remain vigilant and report any suspicious activity to the authorities.
Finally, looking ahead to the weekend, we have a variety of events to choose from, including concerts, a dinosaur exhibition, and screenings of a new film. Make sure to check out our longer list of events for more options.
This has been Fort Worth Local Pulse. We'll see you tomorrow with more local updates.
