Plant Vogtle is slated to expand, doubling in size to four reactors. That job will employ MANY people currently unemployed in our area, and beyond.

Actually, there are a few people that commute a fairly good distance to get to Plant Vogtle everyday. I was out there several months ago speaking with the guard at the gate, awaiting my clearance to enter the plant, and he told me that there was a person that drives from Sandersville every day.
Imagine that drive to just get to work!
There are plenty of people doing the same at SRS also

We're gonna need those jobs considering the unemployment rate is almost 10%. Unfortunately we have lost more jobs than we have gained over the last 6 months... hence the high unemployment rate. Hopefully that money will get here soon so ppl can get hired quickly.
