Gas is Expensive. Stop Commuting & Save Money by Working Clark County

Gas prices have been high this summer and that’s leading many people to reconsider their commute. For those looking to keep more of their paycheck, working in Clark County provides an easy answer. “There are so many companies in Clark County. You can have an incredible career here, and in a wide variety of industries,” said Amy Donahoe, Director of Workforce Development. “From manufacturing to technology, sales, management and healthcare - all industries are represented here.”

There are several advantages to working closer to home. In addition to saving money by reducing what you pay on gas, spending less time in the car results in having more time with family and friends. “A lot of people are tired of sitting in the car when they could be at their kids sporting events, enjoying dinner with friends or working out at the gym. Many of the people we speak with are leaving jobs in Dayton, for example, in order to have more time at home,” said Donohoe. “Afterall, a 60 mile commute one way equals 20 days in a car each year. That’s a lot of time you could spend having fun.”
