These are only some of the jobs that came. There are alot of others that have also came this year.
The center has more than customer service jobs. The entry level postions you can make 35,000 and over in your first year. How many jobs in columbus, savannah, or macon can you make that unless you have a college degree. Augusta already has a higher income than all these cities already. Only atlanta in georgia has more rich people in augusta. There are alot of houses in georgia for 100k to 200k. So 35,000 for a entry level position im sure the people of columbus, macon, and savannah. Would all take these jobs in a heartbeat. Alot of people in america are unemployed in every city last time i check. Jobs are jobs
