I suppose it's dependant on the industry.

But when I see the employment opportunities available, it does make me question what's going on.

Want to jump that pay hurdle? Get trained, one way or another. 6 months training could net a huge jump in salary, in many industries. And alot of training opportunities are one way or another aided by either the industry or a government entity. Because they need people!

I feel like the jobs are there, the money is there, the demand is there, and the workers are arguably there to a certain extent - it's just a matter of linking up all parties in need.

And the cost to live in Maine is all relative. I hear about how it's "not cheap", but let's be honest- financially, it's much more straightforward, and I think the end game is very financially viable. You don't realize the added everyday costs in an urban area, that may present cheaper. Until you're hit with daily $13 charges to cross a bridge....

Patience, grasshopper. Jobs are jumping out of the office, and Maine still needs to hire an abundance of infrastructure workers.

There are options, and in the future I'll argue there will be so many more. The future suits Maine... cant say that for many places elsewhere, imo

It's virtue signaling. It's just as useless as people that post too much about politics on social media.

Nobody cares about your opinion, and you're not going to change anyone's mind with Facebook rants and ridiculous yard signs.
