AT&T announced it will hire an additional 230 employees in Ohio, with over 125 being new positions, as it expands its wireless, internet, and cloud services.

North Lakes appeared as one of the most searched suburbs by overseas home buyers of QLD properties such as coming from New Zealand, US, & the UK, according to realestate.com.au report.
Twelve-month data from July 2017 reveal that overseas property searches in Queensland have New Zealand as the top property hunters. Brisbane City emerged as the most searched suburb with 13,951 searches followed by Broadbeach with 9,898.
REA Group said that overseas home buyers would often check Brisbane properties first then widen their search to nearby suburbs. Such is the case of one overseas buyer who found their dream home in Aspley which he said is a place with great weather and affordable properties.
The top ten most searched suburbs are Brisbane City, Surfers Paradise, Noosa Heads, Broadbeach, Mooloolaba, Burleigh Heads, Southport, North Lakes, Caloundra, and Hope Island. Whilst UK and USA follow New Zealand, where most overseas property searchers originate. The REA Group said that European, American, and Canadian buyers are mostly drawn to Queensland’s beach and lifestyle destinations. Brisbane properties are what they would often check first, primarily because they are seeing better value for their money in Brisbane.
Rounding up the ten countries accounting for the most number of searches of the Queensland properties are Hong Kong, Philippines, Canada, Singapore, China, Japan, and South Africa.
According to the Australian Property Market Report for October from realestate.com.au, Brisbane continues to hold up well, despite tough financial conditions. Buyer demand, and rental demand and pricing are all in the green. Offshore buyer demand has seen a big increase which they attribute to the education sector and relative housing affordability.
The report says that Brisbane is gaining the confidence of the market with its better economic outlook and because of that, premium suburbs are benefiting with the subsequent rise in demand. Inner-north’s Grange and the outer south-east suburb of Chandler appeared as the top two in demand suburbs, according to the report.
Among Brisbane metro regions, East enjoys the most increase in demand year-on-year with 9.1%, followed by Brisbane Inner-city (8.2%) and North (5.0%). South and West saw declines in demand, however, year-on-year with -6.1% and -1.6% respectively.
The price growth is seen to continue over the next 12 months as Queensland economic growth will continue to propel the market.

Ohio Business: Holiday Spending Expected to Increase; AT&T Announces New
Hires; Home Sales Keep Steady
Ohio could see a 3.5% increase in spending this holiday season, according to the University of
Cincinnati's fourth annual Holiday Retail Sales Forecast.
Estimates show the total retail spending for November and December will be nearly $15 billion-an
increase of more than $503 million from 2012.
"Sales should increase this year as they have every year since the end of the recession," said Jeff
Rexhausen, Senior Research Associate for the University of Cincinnati Economics Center.
The Center prepares the report for Focus On Ohio's Future, the public research arm of the Ohio Council
of Retail Merchants.
"Positive economic trends continue to outweigh negative ones, and Ohio retailers seek to attract
shoppers with a value proposition that is a combination of quality, price, and service," Mr. Rexhausen
added.
The report said the majority of retail spending in the state will be done in the greater Columbus area,
which is expected to experience a 4.36% increase in holiday retail sales over 2012.
But, despite the upward trending retail number for the state as a whole, it's lower than the expected
national average increase of 3.9%.
The report cited recent declines in consumer confidence as a cause for the conservative estimate.
Researches also took into consideration a National Retail Federation report from October that predicted
consumers are planning to spend less on gift giving this year.
According to the Economics Center report, the outlook doesn't just reflect how the state's retail climate will
fare in the next two months, it also paves the way for predictions on the year ahead.
"Not only can a healthy holiday season create a boost in short-term seasonal employment, but it also
serves as a strong indicator of the health of the economy going forward, the report's authors wrote.
"Among other things, strong spending during the holiday season will lead to higher earnings. When
earnings are strong, optimism regarding future investment generally rises. With additional investments in
the economy, higher employment levels and higher wages are likely to soon follow and further strengthen
the economy."
AT&T: The wireless provider announced Monday that it will hire an additional 230 employees across
Ohio.
More than 125 of those positions will be new as the company works to expand wireless, Wi-Fi, high
speed Internet and voice and cloud-based services in the state.
The company has had a focus on Ohio this year, having invested more than $225 million in state
networks. In 2013, AT&T has also employed 840 new workers, according to a company news release.
"The transformation of the communications industry is powering more choices for consumers, jobs for
workers and needed investments for communities," AT&T Ohio president Adam Grzybicki said in a
statement.
"AT&T continues to add jobs and invest in our 21st century networks to ensure we are providing the
highest level of service consumers demand in today's competitive marketplace."
Of the new positions, 93 will be based in Ohio while the others will be spread out throughout the state.
In a separate release, AT&T named Brian Ducharme the new Vice President and General Manager for
Ohio. He will oversee the company's growing market, which includes 770 Ohio employees, 86 AT&Towned retail locations and more than 85 national retail partners and authorized resellers across the state.
2. Based in Indianapolis, Mr. Ducharme is heading the new Great Lakes market within the company, which
expands its focus from just Michigan and Indiana to Ohio as well.
"I'm excited to get to know our customers in Ohio," he said in a statement. "I look forward to continuing
our efforts to deliver a premier customer experience, strengthen our relationships in the community and
expand our advanced mobile broadband network."
Home Sales: The number of single-family homes and condominiums put under agreement in October
was on par with the data for the same month last year presented by the Ohio Association of REALTORS.
"The number of home purchase contracts entered into in October nearly mirrored our results from a year
ago, an indication that the Ohio marketplace has begun to stabilize following a stretch of 29 consecutive
months of year-over-year gains," OAR President Thomas J. Williams said in a statement. "Activity levels
remain solid, despite the fact that the shutdown of the federal government and ongoing debate about the
country's debt ceiling dominated headlines for much of October."
The October Pending Home Sales Index of 139.7 fell three-tenths of a percent from the October 2012
index score of 140.0, but the OAR is still well above the benchmark index of 100, which is equal to the
average level of contract activity during 2008-just before the recession hit.
