LANL plans to hire 1,000 more employees.
I find this interesting as SNL was talking about a layoff and only has 11 openings, and LLNL has only 75 openings.
The question is where are these 1,000 employees going to live unless there is a big group of retirements in the future and they are all moving to Phoenix or Florida.

“Our focus in recruiting has shifted quite a bit,” she said. “We are focused more heavily on the New Mexico schools, but also the regional schools – so that [new hires] wouldn’t get here and immediately lose their minds if there are no shopping malls or restaurants open past 8 o’clock.” - Angela Mielke
Translation, we have given up on quality and are focusing on the plumbers, electricians, machinists, waste management and compliance people we need to spit out 30 pits a year at Rocky Flats on the Hill.
I think SNL is getting punished for being well-managed. The problem child LANL, which misses all its pit production targets, gets rewarded with more funding year after year. I expect this process to exponentiate.
