Help Wanted ...Movin" to Texas

Theres currently a shortage of skilled labor in the Port Arthur, Texas area where billions of dollars  of construction contracts will be awarded in the expansion of the Motiva and Total refineries.



However, Jefferson County Judge Ron Walker said in a press release the area does not currently have enough skilled workers to meet the demands for now and in the future.




The United States currently has a shortage of refineries in the production of gasoline and the current expansion projects will provide some relief and a diminished reliance on imports.



City leaders are still reeling from the recent announcement of a $7 billion expansion of the Motiva refinery, and they were celebrating again on Feb. 13 as Total Petrochemicals announced it was investing $2.2 billion in its Port Arthur refinery.
