I see post on Facebook for peoples companies who are hiring multiple positions with some even setting up some small job fair type venues. It seems like even many restaurants and other stores are also hiring.
We have a number of building expansions going on, and one new large plant that I don’t know how they are going to get people for. And many of these are descent paying industrial jobs. Every one of our vendors says that things are booming. We are looking to add another engineer, either mechanical or controls (I think we will need both). We are getting a number of automation jobs, and hearing that a big part of the decision is that they can’t find people. Of course, if we do get people to come to the area, that will increase the construction industry, as they will require housing, and also increase service industries such as restraints and shopping; which we already need.
I was curious how things are in other places (in your area)? This is in north central PA. We make a lot of parts, which go into assemblies for other things, so it can’t just be here.
Are you above York county?
