Jobs Loss At Wind Farm Only The Start

Wind Farm Company In Cut Back Move

A company that specialises in making wind turbines and also repairing them has released news that they plan to pay off around one third of their workforce in dramatic money saving cut backs. Knight & Carver Wind Group Inc the company of matter is planning the pay offs at their pant in the eastern South Dakota town of Howard.

The plant has a total of 55 workers and plan to release 19 of their workers in attempt to save money through wages due to a downfall in the ordering of wind turbines. They have been based in Howard for around 3 years and the company have warned that more layoffs could happen if business doesn’t pick up anytime soon.

It seems to me as if no one is safe from the current recession and this shows that even in a business like this there are cut backs and money is being lost even though there seems to be wind farms popping up on every hill you see at the moment.
