    There will AWAYS be jobs out here due to the constant revolving door & regular attrition. May slow up during rough markets like we are in, but things still have to move. Just might not be as many things lately.

    Also, we are in midst of Thanksgiving, Christmas & New Year holidays. Keep that in mind. Sure that has quite an affect on hiring, especially training.

    I’m sure that’s cuz of a lower cost of living. I mean AR compared to FL….you need 4X the money to live in FL
