Abundant Skilled Workforce
 ituated in the heart of north Texas, Greenville employers
fill 12,000 jobs drawing from a labor force of 600,000
within a 40-mile radius. Surveys conducted by companies
with multiple sites throughout the Unites States indicate
Greenville employees are among their most productive and
have a low absenteeism rate.
Skilled and unskilled labor is abundant in the City of

Labor costs are contained with the limited influence of
organized labor, a low union profile, and a diversified
economy.
