Arkansas: providing solutions for business problems
Article Abstract:
Arkansas' main strength as a location site for expanding firms is a supportive state government that helps business firms recruit and train skilled workers.

However the prompt action of Arkansas' economic development team solved the three firms' manpower problem. Aside from a state-supported program, Arkansas boasts of an educational structure that ensures skilled and qualified workers.
