The last 2 "incentives" were merely consolidation of the nuclear business. These were jobs located elsewhere in the US that were brought here under the guise of job creation. Most required an engineering degree. Some slipped in with previous nuclear experience such as the Navy. Many were filled through Granite (GE owned) Temporary Staffing. Locals were left out of the non-Granite jobs except for a half dozen Administrative Assistants. As for the new laser enrichment facility, I doubt very seriously that hourly jobs (Tech School and Community College Grads) will be offered outside. They will fill through cut backs in other areas on site and Granite staffing. Still, no matter how viewed, good for the area. No argument here.
