Workforce

But virtually everyone here was raised believing in the American work ethic. Many are accomplished craftsmen, practicing skills that have been handed down through the generations. As a group, we have a high regard for education and a high literacy rate to show for it. Businesses that require quality workers find exactly who they’re looking for in Arthur.

Arthur is definitely not someone else’s bedroom community. In fact, Arthur draws workers from upwards of 50 miles for the great jobs, and employment atmosphere in Arthur. And we’ve got room to grow. Room to grow and available skilled labor make Arthur a place you should consider in your relocation plans.
