Yes, I am a local...lived here all of my life. I would love to know what the ratio of local hires is to transfers, but you are so missing my point. Why not accurately report the actual number of jobs that are hired on the local level, that's all. As a recruiter, I know the stats on the availability of MS to PhD level folks around here...bare to none. I understand the fact of having to recruit for those positions...just don't fabricate the numbers for the media. I'm thrilled with the expansion here, and if you had read my posts previously, you would have seen that. But let's be real, with this expansion most of the jobs are managerial to the professional level. The skill set needed does not fit the demographics of this area. I'm glad these folks transferring in are boosting our local economy...but I don't like the fact that one of the healthiest companies in America is receiving tax incentives for coming here, that's all. And as for the post of the education level in this area...another point about locals being given priority to the program at CFCC.
