Saline's Demographics
It's easy to assemble an efficient workforce here.
Roughly 250,000 working-age people live within a 20-minute commute to the City, and more than 1.5 million live within a 45-minute commute. This includes excellent concentrations of both skilled and unskilled workers; and an unparalleled selection of experienced managers, as well as management trainees from several area universities, colleges, and vocational training schools.
More than anything else, the character of Saline-area workers is an extension of the community's agricultural roots, whose heritage puts a premium on traditional values, hard work, self-reliance, independence, and an enduring pride in one's community, family and job. Dependable and loyal, our workers are driven by a strong ethic to do the best job possible.
