Good morning, Georgetown.
📰 Economy
Texas Workforce Commission data showed nearly 28,000 people in the capital region were looking for work in February, and unemployment in nine counties increased from 3.6% to 3.8% with no clear reason given—officials noted federal cuts and cautious business spending might have had an effect.
🎓 Education
Southwestern University received a $1 million pledge from alumni Kevin and Elizabeth Dice as it works to raise $9.2 million for a new sports complex that will bring football games back to campus for the first time since 1950.
