There are more ads for employment on the radio and in the newspaper, which is a sign the local economy is picking up. The unemployment rate in
Brooks has dropped a notch from 7% last September to 6.1% this year, likely due to an increase in activity in the oil patch. Many in that industry are reporting a busier period.
The good news is that economists are predicting a busier period for the oil patch and for the retail sector, which is good news as the Christmas season approaches.
