Arkansas: providing solutions for business problems

Article Abstract:

Arkansas' main strength as a location site for expanding firms is a supportive state government that helps business firms recruit and train skilled workers. Such was the case when Dassault Falcon Jet, Raytheon Aircrafts and Midcoast experienced a shortage of qualified workers. However the prompt action of Arkansas' economic development team solved the three firms' manpower problem. Aside from a state-supported program, Arkansas boasts of an educational structure that ensures skilled and qualified workers.
