Jobs are jobs. Don't worry about what type or quality of jobs. They are still jobs which enhances the area.

T shirt jobs are the best jobs. Anyone with a degree in statistics can get a job. But, a guy with a couple misdemeanors and a GED doesn't have some many choices. A rising tide floats all boats.

Unless it's a tidal wave ... But yes, you're right about these jobs improving the chances for someone trying to overcome a sketchy past.

Agreed. A few of my employees (delivery drivers) have a criminal past. Many have no formal education beyond high school. To be quite frank my top driver in terms of efficiency, speed, and execution (no pun intended) has a criminal background. There's no reason why someone with a shady past who has paid his (or her) dues should be ostracized for eternity. I'm a firm believer in second (or third in some cases) chances. If an ex-criminal wants to give back to society by working hard to pay his or her debts to society and be productive, then I'm all for it.

In general, though, this is great news all around, especially when coupled with the other thread the OP started about the high-paying skilled positions also coming to Newport, KY. It seems like everyone is always so quick to gush over $50,000+/year jobs for those with at least a four-year degree and a few years of relevant experience, but what about non-college-educated blue-collar workers whose jobs have either already been made obsolete due to outsourcing and/or automation or who will soon suffer that same fate? They can't all "just go back to school to become engineers, doctors, lawyers, etc." Not everyone has the mental aptitude for that, including yours truly. Laid-off mill workers need jobs to put food on the table, too, so NKY getting a hybrid of news in terms of both white-collar AND blue-collar jobs is great news!

The economy is growing stronger and stronger each month. It's palpable. We can feel it (at least here in Pittsburgh). I'm soon planning to open my own business due to this optimism, which will create more jobs.

Excellent post that expresses my sentiments on the subject to a T. You are better at putting it into words than I am. LOL

Our economy is like an ecosystem. All skill levels are necessary to keep the economy moving. Remove one or more of these elements and it will come to a grinding halt.
