Jobs Not Politics Are Issue in Jackson
The Maquoketa Community Press and Jackson Sentinel show nearly four pages of help wanted ads as Clinton Engines workers face layoff after a shutdown in October. About 1,000 workers were affected, with over half living in Maquoketa, creating local pressure to find new jobs while hoping the plant reopens soon. Governor Hughes cites a statewide need for 6,000 workers but urges residents to stay local if possible.
