Well, I was disappointed with my stop there. 2pm on a weekday, only 2 vehicles outside and the building locked up. I have heard that they have had trouble finding employees, maybe it’s time to move out of the small town to somewhere with a better population to find some people to work there. No store front, nothings saying we’re hiring or open for business.
Most likely an issue of pay vs skill, I would imagine some of the needed employees will either need to be experienced or trainable and intelligent.
Problem being, if you are intelligent, trainable and motivated; why on earth would you stay in a small town where the business owner believes he can pay you less because the cost of living is lower?
The local business owners in my small town can’t understand why their workforce is moving 1hr drive away to a town where they can make double the money and cost of living is the same because your not constantly burning fuel to get things you can’t buy in our small town…. Not to mention the quality of life gained by having choices in shopping, restaurants, ect.
The only way the small town production works is if you pay extremely well where the workforce have a BETTER standard of living than with city life.
One local business owner is killing it, he has low property taxes, low insurance costs and bought the property cheap…. No one would ever guess that untold millions of dollars worth of jet engine parts are manufactured & serviced with foreign nations as clients from one building in a cow town in southern Oklahoma.
Starting pay for a janitor $28hr - after completing 10hrs training.
He told me his secret is low turnover, it’s far more profitable to pay good people well than to pay bad people poorly.
