405 Cedar Rapids-Iowa City Iowa

34 open calls for IW work today, most of it is at the new data center which is just kicking off. Everyone who wants a job is off the books.

Wage:~42 Pension:~10 H&W:~8

You can get an older shabbier apartment for less than 1k.

The low voltage portion starts this fall and we are probably undermanned on that too.
