Mrs. Jessica Morgan+FollowFactory closure hits Forney: 200 jobs lostA major blow just landed in Forney as Smurfit Westrock’s containerboard mill shut its doors, leaving 200 people out of work. This isn’t just another number—these are our neighbors, friends, and family members. With the economy already feeling shaky and other Texas factories downsizing, it’s hard not to wonder what’s next for our community. Have you noticed more local businesses struggling or closing? Let’s talk about what’s happening around us and how we can support each other during these tough times. #Business #Forney #TexasJobs00Share
Paige Douglas+FollowTexans brace for another round of job cutsMass layoffs are shaking up daily life across Texas, with hundreds of workers from Dallas to San Antonio suddenly facing unemployment. UPS is cutting 62 part-time jobs in Dallas as it ramps up automation, while CarOffer is shutting down its Addison location, leaving over 100 employees in limbo. San Antonio isn’t spared either—TechWerks is letting go of 87 staff after a contract loss, and Promises Behavioral Health is closing its Wimberley rehab, impacting dozens more. With so many families affected, what do you think this wave of layoffs means for our communities and local economy? #Business #TexasJobs #Layoffs00Share
Mary Williams+FollowWalmart Shakes Up Texas JobsWalmart is shutting down its Fort Worth Sam’s fulfillment center, affecting about 200 jobs—but it’s not all bad news. The company’s moving operations to a high-tech spot in Lancaster, and employees willing to relocate get a $7,500 bonus plus moving help. If you want to stay local, you can transfer to another center, but no extra cash. Some folks might be left out if they can’t move. Big moves for Walmart in Texas! #Food #Walmart #TexasJobs00Share
rprice+FollowTexas’ Grossest Jobs = Big Paychecks?!Who knew cleaning up after a crime scene or scrubbing port-a-potties could actually pay the bills (and then some)? In Texas, jobs most people would never touch—like garbage collector, septic tank cleaner, or even roadkill remover—can pull in $35K to $80K a year. Not glamorous, but steady work and surprisingly solid pay. Next time you see a pest control truck, just remember: that person might be making more than your office gig! #TexasJobs #DirtyJobs #CareerSurprises #Paycheck #WorkLife #JobCareer90Share
