Description
Good morning, this is Lexington Local Pulse for Thursday, January 22nd.
We're starting this morning with a weather update as winter continues to impact our community. The University of Kentucky Transportation Services reminds us that all bus routes, including the Blue, White, Green, Orange and Yellow lines, will continue operating as road conditions allow. If you're planning to use campus transit today, download the Transit app to stay updated on any service changes. Parking regulations across campus remain in effect as normal, and UK's motorist assistance program, including free battery jumpstarts, is available for permit holders. The university's Facilities Management team is actively working on snow and ice removal across parking lots, sidewalks and parking structure tops. If you spot areas needing attention, you can report those to snow at uky dot edu.
Speaking of the university, we've got some exciting news from the hardwood. The Kentucky Wildcats dominated Texas last night with an 85 to 80 victory at Rupp Arena. It was a back and forth battle with eleven lead changes, but the Cats pulled away in the second half. Denzel Aberdeen led the way with 19 points, while Collin Chandler and Otega Oweh each added 18. Chandler hit a career high, and the team's free throw shooting made the difference down the stretch. The Wildcats are now 13 and 6 overall and 4 and 2 in SEC play. They'll host Ole Miss this Saturday, so mark your calendars for another home game.
Now let's look at opportunities in our job market. According to job listings in our area, Lexington continues to see strong demand across healthcare, education, manufacturing and technology sectors. We're seeing positions available ranging from entry level roles at around 15 to 18 dollars an hour in hospitality and service positions, all the way up to senior leadership roles offering salaries between 110 and 120 thousand dollars annually. Remote and hybrid options are increasingly available, particularly in tech and business services. If you're looking to make a move in your career, our local job market is active with positions across diverse industries. Visit your local employment agencies or check online job boards to explore what's available in your field.
The winter weather we're experiencing is a reminder to stay safe out there. Give yourself extra time for your commute, check on neighbors and family, and make sure your vehicle is winter ready.
