While there are a good number of employment seekers...that happen to be Villagers..most residents do not work. Perhaps about 5% of Village residents have to work.

There have been MANY construction workers, contractors and realtors that have been laid off. YES....I have been told that POTV's had a huge lay off several weeks ago.

Just a thought to ponder....

Yes POTV is Properties of The Villages...thanks Mallory!

Also...Gracie while I agree that MANY more village residents than just 5% actually work (over 800 working for GMS) my thought was more about the NEED for work. Most...I say most...villagers are retired and are able to NOT work. However some choose to work....for a little extra play money or perhaps benefits.

I believe it is about 5% of The Villagers that actually HAVE to work....to survive....
