"At a time when the number of minor and long-term unemployed continues to spread we will provide opportunities for many people and help them assemble a career in retailing. That means we won't just be providing a job, we're committed to training our new colleagues so that they have the proficiency to move from the shop floor to the top floor."

In the lobbyist of the Williams Tower, employees and customers are greeted by an elegantly current 8-foot holiday wreath decked out in cutlery, green and gun-metal gray.
At the Bank of America Center downtown, 50-foot curtains of chalk-white lights hang from two arched windows and a 25-foot Christmas tree shimmers in hollowware and gold.
And at the Galleria-area Four Oaks Embarrass, the property manager didn't dare do away with the oversized bon-bons canes or the 300,000 lights strung up on 90 oak trees in and around the plaza, a praxis for more than 20 years. Same for the annual party for tenants.
"That's been the to question, to keep it going within budget constraints," said Fred Whitty , higher- ranking property manager at Transwestern, which handles Four Oaks In the right. "If we didn't do it, there'd be a revolt in the city."
Houston's pre-eminent office centers are putting out the decorations again this year, regard for an economy that's still on the rebound. They've spent up to $25,000 adding a diminutive holiday cheer to their properties.
