Mecklenburg County Virginia - 3/12/2012
The Employment opportunities in Mecklenburg county Virginia are not very good. You may be able to obtain a job here but do not count on the ability to pay a mortgage if you buy a house and need to finance part of the cost.
The pay scale is not high enough to support a family with a mortgage and a car payment and the rest of normal living expenses because their are not enough quality jobs in the county.
For example the county is obviously in bad shape because my neighbors a family with a mortgage and car payment plus children, had been effected by the rough times recently like everyone else, both parents had been laid off due to plant closings or cutbacks, but the bills stayed so after many months of tring to find new jobs to suport their family with just the basics had to take the only jobs that are available which are only at the most a dollar over country minimum wage one with no benifits, and even a county job with benifits by the time you pay for the family benifits
