Before you relocate to another area or go to college in hopes of getting an education and then moving to a specific region, you should first consult the Occupational Information Network (O*Net). This free online web service provides you with a idea of what the status of a particular occupation is within a certain area. You can determine whether your specialty is in demand, not in demand or somewhere in between. Their website is located here, http://www.onetonline.org/

You can type in a keyword in the Occupation Search block, such as "computer" or look under the "Find Occupations" heading. When you click on one of the many results, you can find out whether the outlook is bright or not in a certain area.

So, the former Nippon (Daishowa) mill has been sold to McKinley Paper Company which is owned by a Mexican firm. The mill has been closed for business since January 21st. Up to 105 people have been out of work as a result.

The new name for the mill will be McKinley Paper Co., Washington Mill. It will produce recycled containerboard. That was the good news that the mill will be up and running again. The bad news is that it could take six months to one year for the plant to be retooled to produce the new product. Then, there is no word if any of the former employees there will be hired back.
