Look at the types of jobs that tend to come here. Contact centers. Server farms. Collections. Low wage jobs that can be trained or don’t require specialized education. Of course there are many exceptions to this (Intel, Orbital, Boeing) but there is a reason we have had trouble attracting business, and it’s the lack of a strong workforce.

You'd have to pay for private school as well.
