We have several small factories where I live, ranging from jigsaw puzzles to printing press rollers to titanium components for the military to the red goo they put on Makers Mark Bourbon bottles
All of them have been hiring for months, and a couple of them have had to build more parking lot for their employees
The company I work for is currently building two new plants and have hired close to 400 new employees in 2019, with plans for 300 more through next year.
What down turn?
