Buc-ee's isn't always as convenient as most convenience stores. A stop with my daughter and wife often takes 45 minutes. But its nearly 75,000 sf stores are so coveted by many small towns they're dangling tax incentives. https://t.co/sH46RjeGaW

Economists say this is a "Twilight Zone" job market, where weak hiring's disconnected from overall strong economy. "It's a bugger" trying to find a full-time job, one job-hunter says. https://t.co/ogXmiFoDJZ

A startling sign of the US's housing distress: Last year, 58% of middle-income US families approved for mortgages had debt-to-income ratios of 40% or higher. New analysis piece penned by @annjychoi, @mniquette, @atanzi and myself https://t.co/m9xzClgZyE

The #Green revolution is expected to create millions of jobs. But in a test in Atlanta, Houston, Nashville and Detroit, less than 40% of green jobs trainees have landed work. #Accenture and #goodwill say it'll take time, but some feel misled. My latest https://t.co/xkzq34SeZp

Many businesses can't wait for the #federalreserve to lower rates. New hotels are delayed, manufacturers are scraping by with old machines to avoid buying new, and restaurants are sweating the ARM loans resetting. W/ @mniquette https://t.co/daZQSRhKf1

Who needs big city life? Last year, areas under 250,000 people saw more migration than bigger areas, as people especially flee big cities, per a UVa demographer https://t.co/9ChjBnQN70
