Our most-read story was on the Port Tech Center Arena looking to staff up before it begins hosting concerts, gaming competitions and other events. Coming in second place was a piece about workers at a local Starbucks vying to make it the chain's first Texas store to unionize.

Chalk that up to the Great Resignation? Hard to say, but it certainly looks like readers are paying close attention to employment matters.
