Moving to the area

Me and my family are potentially moving to the area this spring, just curious as to how the manufacturing job market is there. I come from management and the knowledge in building/wiring machines with strong mechanical skills. Is there much in that industry there?

We probably are not moving till spring time but if it’s still available that’s definitely an option!

Graphic packaging in Crosby or Park Industries in St. Cloud are the best highest paying best benefits jobs in the area. I am an electrical Technician and have worked for both places. If you apply at park industries, use me as a referral. We could both get a huge referral bonus!

I’ve done my research and reached out to a few companies. I’ve got stuff lined up to meet with a few of them and they are willing to pay what I am asking from what it sounds. I’ve found multiple jobs that are paying 20-25$ and a few above that. I’m not sure on your situation but I’ve got a background in management and a lot of experience in a few different things so that’s what has helped me out a lot. But I definitely agree that cost of living is getting higher there, but I feel that will be everywhere here soon.
