North Texas job fair at Globe Life Field seeks to connect employers and job seekers
North Texans on the job hunt can find hundreds of employers at Globe Life Field in Arlington on August 7. It's part of Republican Congresswoman Beth Van Duyne's annual North Texas job fair. The fair is a bipartisan effort, with no political strings attached. Jack Fink spoke to Van Duyne ahead of the event. "What we do is we partner with our chambers. We partner with our elected representatives. I don't care if you are independent, if you are a Democrat, if you are a Republican. We want to help the community. We want people to be able to get jobs and we want businesses to be able to hire." It began in 2021 at the Irving Convention Center and was later moved to Globe Life Field due to the event's growth in demand. In its first year in Arlington in 2024, the annual job fair saw its biggest turnout, with over 20,000 job openings from 500 companies of all sizes. "This is one of the reasons why we are flourishing in North Texas and why so many businesses are moving," Van Duyne told Jack. This year, registrants will have access to 16,000+ jobs from 400+ participating businesses. The event is scheduled to take place from 11 a.m. - 3 p.m. at Globe Life Field in Arlington. Employers or those seeking employment can pre-register for the event at

YouTube says its ecosystem created 490K jobs and added $55B to the US GDP in 2024
YouTube released a report on Tuesday that shows just how influential the creator economy has become. YouTube says that its creative ecosystem contributed over $55 billion to the U.S. GDP and supported more than 490,000 full-time jobs, according to research by Oxford Economics. When YouTube talks about its creative ecosystem, it's not just talking about creators. This includes anyone who works with YouTube creators (video editors, assistants, publicists), as well as people who work for creator-oriented companies (Patreon, Spotter, Linktree, etc.). But these figures continue to grow, even in a time when venture capitalists are no longer pouring money into the industry like they were about four years ago. In 2022, YouTube and Oxford Economics reported that its creative ecosystem created about 390,000 jobs and contributed over $35 billion to the U.S. GDP, meaning that these 2024 figures jumped by 100,000 jobs and $20 billion. These numbers are so large because YouTube provides the most consistent and lucrative opportunities for creators. Those who qualify for YouTube's Partner Program can earn 55% of revenue earned from ads; even for mid-range creators (not the MrBeasts of the world), that can amount to several thousand dollars a month. While TikTok and YouTube Shorts have tried to monetize their platforms, the industry hasn't figured out a way to reliably distribute ad revenue among short-form creators. As both a fast-growing and often misunderstood sector, creators have been advocating for American institutions, from banks to the government, to better serve their industry. Some creators struggle to qualify for business credit cards or get certain business loans, regardless of their demonstrable financial solvency. These issues have become common enough to draw attention. Just last week, U.S. Representatives Yvette Clark (D-NY) and Beth Van Duyne (R-TX) announced their bipartisan Congressional Creators Caucus to support and recognize the potential of the creator economy.

Texas lawmaker demands justice after Air Force cadet killed by illegal migrant suspects in hit-and-run
A Texas lawmaker is speaking out following the tragic death of an Air Force Academy cadet who was killed in a hit-and-run involving two migrant suspects in the country illegally. Texas Rep. Beth Van Duyne, who had twice personally sponsored 18-year-old Ava Moore's application to the Air Force Academy, says the incident should never have happened and is demanding accountability. "I am still livid about what happened and why it happened," Van Duyne told "Fox & Friends" Friday. The Republican congresswoman says she's been in contact with border czar Tom Homan in the wake of the accident and is committed to securing justice for the victim's family. Ice Identifies Jet Ski Suspects In Air Force Cadet Candidate's Death As Illegal Immigrants Moore, a young cadet from Texas, was kayaking when she was allegedly struck by a jet ski operated by an illegal migrant. She was weeks away from leaving to start Air Force basic training. The Department of Homeland Security reports that the two migrants involved in the crash then fled the scene without offering help, leaving Moore to die. DHS has identified the suspects as being Daikerlyn Alejandraa Gonzalez-Gonzalez, who is said to have been driving the jet ski, and Maikel Alexander Coello-Perozo, both foreign nationals who entered the United States illegally in 2023 and were released under the Biden administration. Read On The Fox News App Texas Police Arrest Suspect After Fatal Jet Ski Hit-and-run After fleeing the scene, the suspects reportedly struck two vehicles while attempting to escape. Both were later taken into custody and ICE lodged immigration detainers to begin the removal process after criminal proceedings take place. Van Duyne described Moore as a "determined" leader and "a phenomenal woman" with a bright future ahead. She said while she is grateful the suspects have been apprehended, she believes the tragedy was avoidable. Heartbroken Mom Of Texas Murder Victim Breaks Down Over Migrant Crisis: 'You Took Away My Son!' "These two Venezuelan illegal immigrants who should never have been in our country," she said, "who just recklessly were on a jet ski and smashed into Ava as she was home with her family before she was getting ready to go to boot camp." "She was out on a kayak. She got hit and they just left her there in the water to die." Texas Lawmakers Demand Answers On Fatal Crash Allegedly Caused By Illegal Immigrant: 'Infuriating' One of the suspects is facing a second-degree felony manslaughter charge, while the other has been charged with misdemeanors of collision involving damage to a vehicle and hindering apprehension. Van Duyne said she's been in contact with Moore's family since her death, and that her father is turning to faith during the difficult time. "I said, 'I'm so angry about what happened, I'm so angry about it,'" she recalled. "And he said, 'I'm going to stop you there. I'm not [going to] be led by anger.' This is a tremendous man of faith, of kindness, of patience, and forgiveness. And he just said that is the way that Ava would want us to remember her."Original article source: Texas lawmaker demands justice after Air Force cadet killed by illegal migrant suspects in hit-and-run
