I saw one report that said as many as 15,000 people would be out of work, if you included all the jobs that depend on that refinery.
Not only that,the price of gas will go up. More refineries need to be built.
they can learn to code.
Honestly this is sheer pressure and stupidity on the part of near sighted Democrats and communists forcing refineries out. I’m not sure if the CEO is a troo believer (probably) or making a prudent financial decision here in a hostile political environment.
either way this means more cold poor people and the communists are fine with that.
My guess is that's a little high. I ran for State Rep in that district more than a decade to go. It wasn't that much of an economic driver, but even losing 1,000 direct jobs is a terrible thing.
Couple that with Hahnemann announcing an impending closure this September, and it's a bad day for The City of Brotherly Love.
What kills me, is that, well, an accidental fire, that can't be helped. But Hahnemann is going under because they have a trauma center and the gang-bangers racking up one million plus in never to be repaid medical bills are putting a lot of nurses, technicians, and the like out of work. What a price we pay for worthless street urchins.
