But that's only part of the story. The oil and gas industry is hiring, as is the medical field and construction, which takes us right back to places like Home Depot.
"We've seen an increase in sales, an increase in foot traffic, so that's why we are looking for a lot more individuals to help facilitate to help with those customers," said Gil Cariaso with Home Depot.
Our area is expected to add 75,000 jobs in 2014.
As for Home Depot, they are adding about 40 to 50 people per store, and jobs include entry level to managers.
