Given the level of unemployment here there is certainly a large labor pool waiting for jobs to arrive.

Also important is that the labor force around here has very low expectations for pay and benefits. They don't require much to be satisfied, and they can be bent over backwards without squalking much.

As of 8/2011 per BLS.gov: National Unemployment Rate = 9.1 Missouri Unemployment Rate = 8.9 Jefferson City MSA Unemployment Rate = 7.3

Might be a good idea for these consultants to review the city codes, ordinances and past JC Council minutes regarding businesses.
