    Good morning, this is El Paso Local Pulse for Monday, December 9, 2024.

    We're starting off the week with some significant updates from around our city. First, let's talk about the local job market. According to the latest data from the Dallas Fed, El Paso employment increased by an annualized 3.9 percent from July through October, with professional and business services experiencing the largest gains. This is great news for our community, as it indicates a strong and growing economy. The current unemployment rate in El Paso is 4.5 percent, slightly higher than the state and national averages.

    In other news, the holiday season is in full swing, and our local businesses are gearing up for the festivities. The City of El Paso is marking Small Business Saturday and inviting the community to shop local at The Market at WinterFest. This is a great opportunity to support our local entrepreneurs and find unique gifts for your loved ones.

    On the real estate front, we don't have any major updates on notable commercial or residential property sales, but we do know that construction in Horizon City has impacted sales for some businesses. The city is working to address these issues and support local businesses during this time.

    From city hall, early voting started on Monday for the runoff elections in El Paso county. The pace of voting is off to a typical start for a runoff election. Additionally, the U.S. General Services Administration’s public comment period for the draft Environmental Impact Statement is ongoing, and residents are encouraged to participate.

    Weather-wise, today is expected to be partly cloudy with a high of 64 degrees. It's a great day to get out and enjoy some of the holiday events happening around the city.

    Speaking of events, Texas Tech Health El Paso is hosting a holiday lighting ceremony on their campus, and the community is invited to attend. Additionally, the City of El Paso is hosting a holiday bazaar at The Market at WinterFest, featuring local vendors and festive fun.

    In local school news, the Las Cruces Public School District is considering changes to school boundaries, which may affect some students next year. And in sports, UTEP volleyball's historic run has sparked hope for an even brighter future, despite their recent loss.

    On a feel-good note, El Pasoans Fighting Hunger Food Bank is partnering with Albertsons to support those in need this holiday season. You can help by donating at your local Albertsons store.

    Finally, in today's crime report, police are seeking the driver in a deadly Lower Valley crash that killed a 64-year-old woman. Additionally, an upper valley man has been sentenced to 30 years for shooting his mother in a firearm struggle. The El Paso Police Department has also released their 'Most Wanted' list for December 8.
