Emerald Bay Connection


Good Morning,

THANK YOU . First and foremost, I wanted to thank you for supporting me, working with me and engaging with me through my real estate career. It has been a wonderful journey to connect and meet so many terrific people. I appreciate you.

DID YOU KNOW? U.S. job growth rebounded in October and wages recorded their largest annual gain in 9-1/2 years, pointing to further labor market tightening that could encourage the Federal Reserve to raise interest rates again in December. And also a sign of a very strong US economy. (Reuters)

DID YOU KNOW? It appears now official that AMAZON’s HQ2 is coming to New York and Northern Virginia after evaluating 238 contenders. Critical requirements were a population of 1 million plus, public transportation, tech talent, and a strong international airport. Each location stands to gain 25,000 jobs. Google said it plans to double its workforce in New York City to more than 14,000 employees over the next 10 years. (WSJ)

DID YOU KNOW? 2018 has been one of the most destructive wildfire seasons on record in California, with a total of 7,579 fires burning an area of 1,667,855 acres (6,749.57 km 2 ), the largest amount of burned acreage recorded in a fire season, according to the California Department of Forestry and Fire Protection and the National Interagency Fire Center, as of this week.
