Forest Service to add 140 new jobs in Albuquerque

According to the NM Biz Journal, the Forest Service is going to add 140 new jobs by January '10.

These are going to be jobs that pay between 40-70K annually. They will be looking for new property fo house their facility, and they will be needing up to 100,000 square feet over the next few years.

If they can't find what they are looking for, there is a possibility they will build their own facility.

Great news for our economy, both in the new jobs and the potential for new building projects to house them!

The Forest Service will discuss employment opportunities with interested applicants at a job fair Sept. 9. The fair will be held at Albuquerque's Manzano Mesa Multigenerational Center at 501 Elizabeth St. SE
