Thanks for the help! At least now you can say you were somewhat productive today. What else have you got? I look forward to it.

Wasn't even in the local news. Only news on this board. Google expanding, Boeing expanding - yeah those made the local news. Tiny company from CT? No.

A bigger company would have been nice for SC but you reduce unemployment in a state, one job at a time... Yeah, this is a small company, but it is now one less that CT has..

PTR industries is still growing, and their rifles are gaining in popularity as well. I know them and own more than 1 of their rifles.

from what I understand, most of the employees at the CT factory have elected to move to SC to continue working at PTR. it just means less tax revenue for CT when those people leave.

What is the meaning of "chaulk"?

SC & Ct both reported unemployment rates of 8% last month, while the nation was at 7.5%. 37 relos isn't going to nudge that .0001%.

Maybe if SC's contractors weren't dense, their unemployment rate might be better than the nation's, instead of worse.

Growing-LOL! Might hire that 38th employee. By 2018, perhaps a 39th.

Sturm Ruger is up 200 employees the last 5 years alone, and employs more at a Ct corp hq than this glorified mom and pop does overall.
