What Cuyahoga Falls, Stow & Kent employers hire us for
This corridor is plant-floor work. In Kent, much of it has been bindery and pressroom crews on day and night shifts; general labor runs from line support to unloading trucks; and the warehouse side needs dock help and forklift (towmotor) drivers. Machine operators here have typically earned $16.50, well above the $13.50 Akron-area typical, so price operator openings in Kent and Stow against the local number.
