Lois Wilson, the managing editor of the Elmira Star-Gazette, writes Sunday about the papers emphasis on providing coverage for people looking for jobs.
Wilson writes, “Every Sunday through March, you’ll see a story related to jobs on the front page. On Jan. 2 and 9, Star-Gazette business reporter G. Jeffrey Aaron looked at the regional jobs outlook for 2011 and the jobs of the future in the Southern Tier, respectively. Today’s story is written by Paul Wiseman of USA Today and focuses on the possibility of a new permanent jobless class.
