NFIB State Director Gil White made the following statement today in response to Governor Justice’s Job Jumpstart Program:
“One of the greatest challenges facing West Virginia’s small businesses right now is finding qualified job applicants. A recent survey by NFIB shows that 49 percent of small business owners nationwide have positions they can’t fill despite offering higher pay.
“Governor Justice’s Job Jumpstart Program is going to help small businesses by providing an additional incentive for people to enter or reenter the workforce.”
