Dear Editor,
Perry County is full of vibrant, intuitive, overachieving businesses.
What is one thing they all share in common? It is the desire to find, retain and maintain a highly skilled work force.
That being said, it has become increasingly and nearly impossible for many to locate a conscientious, skilled and attentive workforce.
Factors driving the shortage include, but are not limited to, excessive ongoing assistance from the government for low achieving/ no skill/ no desire individuals.
Lack of solid education promoting hard work and the pride that results from the strong effort of your accomplishment is a major factor. Also, parental expectations have waned in recent years. A recent sentiment is that it is better to be a cool soccer dad than to expect work from your child!
Problems are nothing but non-productive without solutions.
