twitterLetter: Plant pays more than teaching
Friday, Aug. 17, 2001 | 10:05 a.m.
Regarding reporter Jeffrey Libby's Aug. 15 article on a manufacturing plant proposed for Henderson:
Keith Schwer, director of the UNLV Center for Business and Economic Research, remarked that the $31,100 average annual wage for an employee at the proposed plant wouldn't be a significant improvement in income levels here. "These are jobs I suspect graduates of the Henderson State College won't be taking. And needless to say, this is not a group to be buying homes up in Anthem. They're probably going to have to live in an apartment," Schwer said.
What planet is Schwer from? They will be sharing an apartment with a recent UNLV graduate who is making $27,000 a year as a new Clark County school teacher.
