Not too sure Dave, I can see the benefits to the local population looking for decent wages, not something easily available in the region. For instance in my last employ before I retired I probably earned above the local average by some distance. The same job in a city would have seen me earning 35-40% more. I was lucky I could afford to earn less but then my mortgage was very low and my wife had a decent salary. Not an option available to many local people especially the younger ones trying to have families.

Yes I know people can move to different places to gain better wages but if those opportunities could be available locally ..........
