Nebraska Renaissance

Your
Business
|
| Here
is how you can profit by expanding your business in small-town Nebraska,
and by creating or adding new jobs in rural areas: |
Low
Overhead 
In dozens of smaller Nebraska communities, office space
can be found for as little as $0 per square foot! That's
right - communities are so eager to attract high-quality
jobs that local economic development coordinators can rehab
buildings, offer spec buildings and renovate existing office
space for your business.

Workforce
Availability
Labor
availability studies abound, indicating that hundreds, even
thousands of Nebraskans are available to fill jobs in rural
communities. Depending on the radius of miles that you specify,
statistics are available to provide the quantity of job-seekers
you need.
There
are many examples, to give you an idea of the willingness
of rural Nebraskans to apply for jobs. In Wausa, Nebraska,
when the State Health and Human Services call center was
opened, there were 300-plus applications for the initial
positions. In Bloomfield, Nebraska, when First National
Bank opened its credit-card collection center, there were
litterally hundreds of applications.

Low
Turnover
In addition to a large pool of great applicants, small-town
Nebraska offers another potential profit: steady workforce.
Once you hire employees in rural Nebraska, they tend to
stay hired. In the Wausa example mentioned above - there
has been only one worker who left (because of a spousal
transfer). In the example of First National Bank in Bloomfield,
again, nearly non-existent turnover.
|
Why? Again, because of the value the small-town residents place on high-quality jobs. These Nebraskans are ready and willing to come to work - and stay in those jobs.
The result? Lower training and re-training costs for you. As well as higher profits. |

Quality
of Workforce
Typically,
workers in rural communities have a tremendous work ethic...they
show up day after day after day, and they are there on
time.
Rural
Nebraskans also have a high percentage of post-secondary
education, compared to other areas. It's not unusual to
find college degrees among many small-town Nebraska employees.
These rural residents have attained their degree, and
have returned to their hometowns and other smaller communities
because of the quality of life and their desire to raise
families in a healthy environment. The result - highly-trainable
workers for your business.
