The Facts Tell a Different Story

Jobs. Jobs. Jobs. Creating new jobs for Hoosier workers is the biggest concern in Indiana right now. Gov. Daniels and other Republican leaders have made creating jobs their top priority. However, some critics may say that Indiana’s economy is struggling because we can’t bring in and keep jobs in Indiana. But the recent announcement of companies bringing in new jobs for Hoosiers argues a different point.

For example, Affiliated Computer Services, Inc. will open its new customer care center today in Anderson, which is expected to create 500 new jobs for the area. Others include, Community Hospitals of Indiana Inc., which plans to propose an idea today for a new data center complex on the northeast side of Indianapolis. The date center will create 30 new jobs for the facility. Along with Daman Products Co., a hydraulic components manufacturer in Mishawaka, which plans to expand its operations, creating more than 20 new jobs and includes training opportunities for its current employees. And a partnership between LHP Technologies and Techtop Industries, Inc. is expected to bring in a $7.3 million investment and 62 new jobs for Bartholomew County by 2012. Arguers can say what they want, but it seems that Indiana’s economy is on the right track; the track of creating new jobs to help Hoosier workers and their families.
