That sort of kills the myth the "eeelegals stole our jobs". The jobs are open and unfilled. Locals would rather be unemployed. Which is why the company went looking for labor outside the local white community in the first place.

According to Salary.com - Topre America starting payscale runs $17-36. That is above national average for similar jobs. Cost of living is higher than elsewhere in Ohio but below the national average.
