The jobs you’re referring to generally don’t pay much. Yes this state needs more blue-collar workers but when you’re offering $15 an hour and a crappy one bedroom apartment is $1200 that does not entice people to move here.

The state offers $7500 to incentivize workers moving here. So many people applied they paused the program. There are many many people enticed to move here. Finding housing is another issue.

$7,500 doesn’t help when you end up working for $15 an hour.
