Meet Alison Barber, our next Voice of the Recovery Act

Thanks to the Obama Administration's stimulus efforts, Colorado's Alison Barber is at work today in construction management. Her story will soon be on our website, but here's a quick preview.



Alison is a recent graduate of Colorado State University--go Rams!--and this construction management major considers herself more fortunate than many of her classmates:

"A lot of my classmates didn't get jobs right out of college and I think it really helped that the stimulus focused on highway construction."

She's got that right; the employment rate for her CSU construction management peers has dropped to less than 50%.

But, Ali has been working hard for Castle Rock Construction Company on the C-470 road and bike-path repair project outside Denver. As the video at left demonstrates, she's also been an outspoken supporter of the Recovery Act and the good-paying jobs the stimulus has created at all levels of transportation construction.

You can read more about her in the Denver Post and at Denver's CBS4.

It's difficult to imagine a better graduation gift than a good job in her chosen career field. Congrats Alison! I'm sure you'll make us all proud.
