    Delaware is doing its part to address climate change by cutting wages and pensions for state workers and keeping job creators taxes low.

    I’m surprised this isn’t a topic on this sight.

    Who didn’t think that the costs of healthcare would not go up, is this really a surprise?
    Job creators?? Oh, Bloom Energy was going to take care of that. They have 44 jobs posted, 17 intern positions, most of the jobs are in California and guess who is paying for it………..DELAWARE!!!!

    Actually 47 jobs listed, 31 one in California, out of the 31, 15 of them are short term intern positions (DE has 2 intern positions). Subtracting the interns, CA is left with 16 jobs, and DE is left with 12 jobs.

    Additionally, you made a error in counting the jobs by the number of lines. Companies do not list each individual job on a separate line. Notice the line “Field Service Technician, Connecticut, New York, or Delaware USA – Field ” That’s not one technician, that more than one (and none of them in California). So the total is more than 47.

    Bottom line, your criticism may be warranted but it is not supported by the data you provided. Your most egregious error is the superficial manner in which you search for and examine data and either ignorantly or deliberately only offer information that supports your position. You should either train yourself to conduct better analysis or just stick to opinion unsupported by facts.

    @ Dave: I do apologize for my error. Your correct I should do a better job, if I’m going to use the data in my research. There are a total of 52 jobs! I will not go back and list all the mistake, but your count is off as well. Delaware has 3 total interns; 1 in their Knowledge Design Engineering and 2 in their Manufacturing Engineering.

    Again, I apologize and will do a better job in my research, I’m sure you will as well. Have a great day!
