FLORENCE – Several hundred people turned out for today’s job fair in Florence today. The event was staged by FreightCar America, the new railcar manufacturing facility in The Shoals. FreightCar America announced last month that, due to the success of their new operation in the Colbert County Industrial Park in Barton, they were expanding their scope. Expansion means new high-paying jobs.
The job fair took all day to process the hundreds of Shoals folks who are looking for quality, high-paying work such as the jobs that are being offered by FreightCar America… Yet another sign that overall job growth in Northwest Alabama has a big future.
