An airport expansion can mean more flights, more destinations to fly to, and also it can bring more jobs, which is something we could all use in this economy.

Earlier this week, a press release came out announcing the most recent expansion plan for O'Hare Airport's Terminal 5.

The Terminal will be expanded by 25 percent, which will add nine gates, and of course add more jobs for the airport.

In fact, the press release announced that approximately 1,100 jobs will be created because of this expansion. Sure it's a bit of a drive to O'Hare, but it could be worth it!
