Jobs, Jobs And More Jobs In Pikeville
KENTUCKY...
It looks like Pikeville will soon become a "boom" area for skilled and unskilled trade workers. Officials say more than three thousand jobs are available or will be soon in Pike County.
Construction is underway all over Pikeville, from the College to the hospital to the new Justice Center. Officials say each project means hundreds of new jobs.
Leaders say the 3500 hundred new jobs range from minimum wage to high paying.
“We will be adding new teachers, new physicians, new clerical work, so it's not just a short term growth, but it will substantiate into long term growth as well,” James Hurley of Pikeville College said.
“It should be an injection of cash into our economy. You know, for every one dollar spent in the community, that dollar will rotate around a community four to five times,” Brad Hall of the Pike County Chamber of Commerce said. Officials believe more money flowing will turn into more jobs. Pike County Chamber of Commerce officials say more projects are starting soon, including EQT's new headquarters that will be built in Pikeville, which will create another 100 jobs.
