COLUMBUS, Ga. (AP) - A Kia supplier will be holding a job fair to fill 250 production jobs at its plant in West Point.

Hyundai Mobis makes front, rear and cockpit chassis modules for the Kia Sorento crossover vehicle that is being manufactured at the nearby Kia plant, which began production in November.

Mobis is expected to take applications and interview workers at the Columbus Career Center Saturday morning. The Columbus Ledger-Enquirer says those who are hired will complete 12 hours of pre-employment training through the Georgia QuickStart program at West Georgia Technical College in LaGrange.

7. $14 per hour is "good money" in most parts of Georgia.....

When you factor in the cost of living, especially in a lot of rural areas, it's a very good wage. Home prices are cheaper, vehicles are cheaper... it all averages out.
