When people are relocating, South Florida is a prime destination. Year round warm weather and beautiful beaches are some of the things that will have people begging to get a job. Unfortunately, the run up in housing prices has made folks looking to relocate turn away from the Palm Beach area. And employers are not to thrilled with it.
I cannot recruit people from out of state,” said John Poggi, chief executive officer of REP Associates Inc., a Palm Beach Gardens consulting company. “I am not talking about $30,000- or $40,000-a-year salaries here. We are talking about people not interested in coming to Palm Beach County to make $80,000 a year.”
Poggi said rising home prices cost REP at least 10 candidates last year to fill vacancies for engineers and scientists needed to help the company expand.
That has the company, which offers salaries ranging from $60,000 to $120,000, considering moving its headquarters to a real estate market that doesn’t give recruits such sticker shock, he said. via South Florida Sun-Sentinel.
