DOOR COUNTY, WI (WTAQ) – One area county is working so people see that they are a good place to work.
“Consider not just recreating here, but you can also work here and live here and we have more housing coming down the line.”
Door County is known for vacations and recreation, but County Economic Development Corporation Executive Director Jim Schuessler says it is also a good place to live and work and they have over 400 job openings in the manufacturing field.
“People that haven’t considered us for those sorts of careers, should consider us because we’ve got companies enjoying a lot of growth.”
Twelve businesses in Sturgeon Bay will host a job fair Saturday, Oct. 27 from 8 a.m. to noon and Schuessler says it is not just for those who come in with the skills.
“What we have here that you don’t find everywhere is a lot of companies that are saying, come in with your good work ethic and we will train you.”
The County Economic Development Corporation says manufacturing represents 20 percent of the counties gross domestic product.
