Reply #17: They need to move down here

I live right near the FL/GA state line and companies can't find enough people to hire around here. Industrial maintenance (PLC, HVAC, electricians, hydraulics, pneumatics, etc) is big right now, usually hires between $17-$21 an hour and most unskilled positions like production workers and warehouse/forklift run between $11-$15. All of the companies in this area offer good benefits, like someone else said we can't find anybody that wants to come to work. :shrug:


Housing is still cheap in South Georgia, a nice new 3 bedroom 2 bath house can still be had for right around $100k with reasonable taxes and insurance. Typical rent usually runs from $400-$800 a month.
