labor force looking for alternative employment is a good indicator to potential businesses that there is a pool of local labor available to work. '" The Iow response to students wanting a local job after graduation can be attributed to the fact that at least 48,4 % of high school graduates in the area go on to college. Further, this rate can be explained by the small number of high school age people that filled out the survey. Students not attending college but other forms of continuing education such as AVTI's also responded to the survey as not being interested in a local job after graduation.
