In the Aberdeen American News (via the South Dakota Politics blog):
With more than 2,000 new jobs expected to spring up in Aberdeen during the next three years, it's time to launch big-time advertising for workers, said the head of the Aberdeen Development Corp.
The word needs to get out to people in Denver, Chicago, Minneapolis and Omaha, Neb., Jim Barringer said Tuesday at the development group's annual luncheon meeting at the AmericInn in Aberdeen. He is its executive vice president. The meeting attracted 55 people.
Given Aberdeen's low unemployment rate of 2.6 percent, the city might need to attract workers from elsewhere to fill all the openings, he said.
