Wonder where The Weather Company fits in here- after all, they seem to have no trouble hiring at a rapid clip- I assume most people get their weather from the Weather Company but I live in Atlanta where it's located so it's a given here.
I'm guessing the private sector pay is better, wouldn't be surprised if they were poaching NWS employees.
- TYPE_FASTER 9y agoI wonder if TWC uses NWS data in its forecasting.
- maxerickson 9y agoNWS runs the preponderance of weather radar in the US. They probably run all of it, I'm just not sure if there are any independent ones.
- rplst8 9y agoThey don't run all of it. Many city news channels have their own radar and forecast teams. That's not to say I don't think the NWS is an essential government function.
- awj 9y ago> Many city news channels have their own radar and forecast teams. While this is true, it's probably also worth pointing out that those forecasts likely depend on NWS data in some fashion.
- maxerickson 9y agoDo you know offhand of any stations that make it really clear they have their own radar? Lots of them say something sly about using the only radar network...
