Manufacturing 2.0
Rock River Valley manufacturing experts discuss the many facets of manufacturing: technology, education, training, events, people and any other aspects of this important segment of our economy. They’ll use this blog to get the word out and solicit feedback on local and global manufacturing. They hope to better engage our employers, employees and our future work force and increase their understanding of manufacturing.

“There are 1,600 manufacturing businesses in the nine-county Rochester region.
The average employee at these companies makes more than $57,000 a year, or about $28 per hour, not including benefits. Firms are hiring, there’s plenty of room for advancement and the vast majority of positions require a two-year degree or less.
And for some reason, nobody wants a job.”

I guess we in the Rock River Valley aren’t alone in the quest for people that want to work in manufacturing.  See the rest of this story here…  http://www.democratandchronicle.com/article/20081005/BUSINESS/810050328/1001
