Agree with thoughts that higher un employment checks are a disincentive for people to work especially with people who have children. I do see a lot of signs for work needed in this area.

Feel the biggest problem is the lack of younger people in this area. TV is booming and in the meantime birthrates(over the years) have been declining. Sumter County has one of the highest, if not the highest % of retired people in the state and probably going to get higher. In meantime very few if any new < 55 housing going up. TV and others are creating this problem. Not going to get better anytime soon.
