Chiquita Brands International, which deals in primarily in bananas, and is one Cincinnati’s most profitable companies, has announced that it will be moving its headquarters to Charlotte, NC and bringing about 400 high paying jobs to the area at the same time. The move is expected to be complete at the end of 2012 and comes after a $22 million incentives deal was put on the table by a economic development panel in North Carolina.

Ohio lost out to North Carolina after only offering a $6 million incentives deal, as opposed to the $20 million in state incentives that NC is offering. The local government is offering a further $2 million, making the total $22 million, which is going to be used to fund close to 418 high paying jobs in research and development. The deal was approved by the Economic Investment Committee on Tuesday.

The chairman and CEO of Chiquita, Fernando Aguirre, said in a statement, “After an extensive review of our capabilities and needs, we are confident that Charlotte is the optimal location for our business and that our decision to relocate is in the long-term best interest of our company, customers, employees and shareholders.”

Aguirre thanked Cincinnati at the introduction in Charlotte, stating, “I want to thank the citizens of Cincinnati. They have treated us extremely well. The fact is we needed to make decisions to help our business, not just in the short term, but the long term.” Many of the Cincinnati employees are being offered a relocation package, but for those that cannot move, the high paying positions are open for applications.

Spokesperson for the Ohio governor, explained why they did not match the incentive offered by North Carolina. “We’ve got to be a good steward of taxpayers’ dollars and that means making sure that incentive packages give taxpayers the right return on their investment. We’re not going to be irresponsible and give away the store to try and keep a company that fundamentally doesn’t want to be here or which has already made up its mind to leave.”

Currently Chiquita employs around 20 000 people and with its huge global market, executives agreed that the relocation to Charlotte would mean more efficient air access to its locations across Latin America and Europe, where it currently does most of its business. There has been discontent over the last few months with the airport in Cincinnati, which does not offer as many international nonstop flights as Charlotte does. Flights have also been declining over the past few years with Cincinnati’s only European destination being Paris, down from 5 flights in 2005. Nonstop flights and daily departures are also down more than half of what they used to be 5 years ago.

The Bombardier Learjet facility in Wichita is awaiting approval for a $52.7 million expansion, which is set to bring over 400 high paying aviation jobs to the Wichita region.  Along with tax abatements, Bombardier is also requesting an investment of $1 million towards the expansion from city and county governments, as well as $2 million from an economic development grant that the Airport Authority is applying for. The expansion will consist of 3 new buildings that will be used for flight testing, as well as relocate some of its IT and engineering functions to the Wichita facility.

Vice President of strategic projects for Bombardier Learjet, John Dieker, said, “We are proud of the relationship with the city of Wichita. We are looking for that relationship to continue. This gives us the means and mechanism for that to continue. The company is negotiating with the state for an unspecified amount of incentives. That would be in addition to the 600 new jobs that the company committed to in 2009 in exchange for state incentives for its Learjet 85, a new all-composite aircraft to be assembled and finished in Wichita. The incentives were needed for the deal to make financial sense to Bombardier executives.”

Bombardier decided on Wichita as the number one area for the expansion due to the high concentration of skilled technical and engineering workers. The project is also aiming to expand upon the goals of the plant, to working on larger jets as opposed to just the light Learjet, another important benefit for Wichita.

Dieker commented, “This diversifies our workforce and gives us a greater stability within the organization as we weather some of the recessionary activities we’ve been in.” If the deal is approved work would commence in the spring with the initial payroll exceeding $47 million, with each job offering on average a salary of approximately $177,500.

The news was well received by all those at the press conference. Mayor Carl Brewer said, “With a project like this, the only thing you can say is, ‘Wow!’”

The Chairman of the Sedgwick County Commission, Dave Unruh, gave the project his support, “These projects are smart investments because they provide a positive return on investment.”

Robert Layton, the Wichita City Manager said, “The thing that is so important to us – and we don’t want to lose sight of this – is we’re diversifying our aviation cluster.”

The Kennedy Space Center in Cape Canaveral, Florida is set to be the new headquarters of an aerospace program developed by Boeing Co. that will bring an estimated 550 high paying engineering jobs and high paying aviation jobs to the area by December 2015. The new space program will focus on the development of a 7 man spaceship that will transport astronauts to and from the International Space Station.

Dubbed Crew Space Transportation-100, this program will ensure the smooth implementation process of the engineering aspects and manufacturing aspects all in one area instead of spread out over the country, which is currently the case. Since the space shuttle program retired earlier this year, many aviation and aerospace experts lost their jobs, and this program will once again see high paying jobs returning to the so called “space coast”.

The program manager of commercial programs, John Mulholland said, “We selected Florida due to the cost benefits achieved with a consolidated operation, the skilled local workforce and proximity to our NASA customer.”

The President of Space Florida, Frank DiBello, commented, “We are extremely pleased that Boeing will locate its commercial crew headquarters here in Florida. This positions our state well for future growth and a leadership role in NASA’s next-generation human space exploration initiatives. It is also a key factor in ensuring Florida’s space-related economy continues to thrive after shuttle retirement.”

The low orbit space missions, including carrying cargo to the International Space Station, are expected to be funded by private businesses, and eventually, NASA hopes that it will be able to send astronauts into space with the aid of companies like Boeing Co. They are one of the largest to jump on this opportunity and have already started developing the pressure vessel of the Apollo-like capsule, as well as the autonomous docking system and base heat shield.

Many people are excited about the establishment of the center at the Kennedy Space Center, especially those who lost their jobs recently as the shuttle program closed. The CEO and President of the Volusia Manufacturers Association, Jayne Fifer, said, “If you’re going to be building something, with all our manufacturers, I’m sure they can provide lots of services and capabilities.”

Phil Ehlinger, the Volusia County director of economic development, agreed, “I think that if in fact they are able to create the jobs that they’re hoping to, there are a number of Volusia residents that had worked there, and hopefully they’ll be reemployed, which is great.”

Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University president John Johnson is hoping that internships will be available to his students. He said, “Embry-Riddle is in favor of any kind of job creation activity in the state of Florida, especially when it involves the aerospace industry. It will be a wonderful new initiative.”

Another fan of the program is U.S. Rep. John Mica, R-Winter Park, who stated, “It is vital that we maintain aerospace engineering expertise in Florida. I am pleased Gov. Scott is working to keep those valuable high-paying jobs in our state.”

The time for new jobs in oil and gas, especially in oil drilling is slowly rising, thanks to new approvals and leases by the U.S. Government, specifically in Alaska. Obama has recently approved 500 oil drilling leases off the coast of Alaska, and many other projects are waiting in the wings for approval. Many people are still suffering with unemployment and many blame the fact that there are no jobs, however they overlook the jobs that are there, but just waiting on approval from the relevant parties.

In Philadelphia, around 1000 oil jobs will be created thanks to the $400 million construction of 2 huge oil tanker ships which will take place in the historic shipyard. The Exxon Mobile project will see each tanker weighing in at around 115 tons, creating plenty of oil construction jobs as well as oil rig jobs when the project is over. This is great news for the American economy as a whole, not just Philadelphia.

Another project underway is that of a new steel mill in Youngstown, Ohio. The mill will cost $650 million to build and will create over 350 natural gas jobs related to the manufacture of equipment for natural gas extraction.

Many other projects have been analyzed in the oil and gas industry and it is assumed that they will bring in a huge number of jobs, but face certain obstacles and await government approval before commencing. In New York for example, about 40,000 gas jobs could be created if the go ahead was given to pursue the hydraulic fracturing process. This employment figure is if only 300 wells are drilled, but there are many more in the area. Currently, the New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo is working to overturn the moratorium on the hydraulic fracturing process for the State understanding the risks, but also aware of the fact that each of these new jobs will pay in the region of $80,000 each.

Similarly the new Keystone XL Pipeline Project, which will boost oil and gas employment dramatically all the way from Canada down to the U.S Gulf Coast, is still at a standstill. Backed by Secretary of State Hillary Clinton, the pipeline is still waiting for approval from States like Nebraska. This halt is causing American’s to go without jobs, and according to a recent study released by Woods Mackenzie research company, if the red tape surrounding new local oil and gas production could be eliminated, or at least reduced, 1.4 million oil pipeline jobs and other oil jobs could be created almost immediately.

Aside from this, around $800 million in revenue will be seen and this will be in the form of high paying jobs, invested in by the private sector, not the tax payer. With all the facts and figures at your fingertips, you can see just how many employment opportunities are out there. They just need to be realized by the government approving the many oil and gas related projects that are all waiting.

If you want to be ready when it comes time for oil and gas industry hiring, you should check out all the available jobs on Oil Job Finder. Here you will learn all about oil and gas careers, and discover all the different kinds of jobs that are available in this sector. Aside from learning in depth information about each job, you will also find out more details about the different oil and gas projects that are currently employing workers, and discover what you need to study in order to get a job with any oil company.

The Department of Economic Development (DED) is focusing on high paying jobs in the Culpeper region where their appointed Culpeper Economic Development Advisory Committee (CEDAC) advised the town council members and board supervisors about an economic development plan which was to be implemented immediately.

This plan outlines steps to expand and grow existing business and agriculture while at the same time promoting new business and aiming to bring high paying jobs to the area which would grow the economy substantially. 

Many small towns across the country are suffering due to the recession and high paying jobs are slow to increase and get back to their pre 2008 levels. With 100K jobs, however, the economies of all cities can be stabilized and the overall economy can improve.

Many large corporations and manufacturing firms who are considered to be multi-billion dollar companies have also been encouraged over the last few years to open offices and departments in these smaller areas, where high paying jobs can be created and shift employment to less economically stable areas in order to regain some kind of order.

High paying jobs can come in various forms and in various industries, for example you can get high paying law jobs, high paying finance jobs, high paying IT employment, high paying healthcare jobs, high paying engineering jobs, high paying aviation jobs and more. The most popular industries at the moment such as IT will always be able to create and sustain various higher salaried positions. Healthcare and law are two other areas that will never really see a complete decline as people always need these services.
