However, in an ever evolving global economy,being solely dependent on one industry is unfortunately an ill-advised decision. There are some obvious factors that lie outside of the local communities' control, e.g. no business investments or federal subsidies for existing local business. For a business that makes windows and doors for homes, it seems to be riding out the foreclosure explosion with a few hiccups. It sounds like this business is placing more value in their workers than their profits despite that many job perks have been cut. At the very least job security is something this community can promote.oceguerahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09779330146502912142noreply@blogger.com
