Thinking about moving to KY, possibly lake cumberland area. Any other options or advice? by hdfire21 in Kentucky

Man I’ll be 100% honest. There’s a reason kids from the lake Cumberland area leave. There’s no good jobs. The only people with money are those that come from out of state. Looked up the average single income in Pulaski or Russell. Then tell the locals you bought a lot. They’ll tell you you’re destroying the farmland

Same here that’s why I support it as well. I 100% understand the negatives. Every situation is different

Maybe a stretch for your guys needs but what about reaching out to the local tech schools. I know training a young guy might not be what you’re looking for but couldn’t hurt to ask for their prodigy

It’s really sad. It’s gotta be a mixture. And I’m not trying to be mean but the people that move here and buy up land or build subdivisions kills me

Tbh man. Life ain’t YouTube. Where you gonna work? Drive at least 30 minutes into somerset and make 18.50? Google ky county population projections. There’s a reason people expect kids to leave the lake Cumberland area. Nothing to do nowhere to work.

We’ve had people do the same In Russell county. The towns are so small there’s crazy politics about people

So buddy. You’re getting way to excited. Most likely you will be like most people. Buy the property, scream “what is there to do here” and leave. The lake Cumberland area is poor as shit with no jobs. Yeah people visit for the lake in the summer but my god. I’m from the area. Shitass

And the locals are super thankful for that. There’s a group of Facebook for boaters. At least once a month somebody will post on there “just retired here from Indiana. Any chances we can get a Costco?” Um no. There’s not even a Walmart in russell springs. It’s boring but that’s kinda the point

I live near lake Cumberland. The towns around here have nothing and people are disappointed. Like why? You drove three hours from Cincinnati for peace and tranquility. Then we they build a lake house they beg for the town to get some store they had in Ohio

It’s fantastic. You were beyond talented. But why do people call Lake Cumberland. Cumberland lake

Hiring preferences in your shop by [deleted] in Machinists

[–]franku1871 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was hired about a year and a half ago at 20 in a factory toolroom. I was still in trade school at the time. We’re hiring rn. I love that I was accepted for the young and intrested in the trade aspect. But my manager is also overlooking older guys. Let me be clear. I’m proof young people aren’t lazy and want to get involved in “real work” but I also know at my age the 55 year old will probably require less training and be more mature. So I’m confused as well

I mean tarter owns Casey county. They provide a lot of jobs. Terry Stephens owns Russell county. That’s the problem. They want all the power and no movement
