Call centers are a major source of employment for those with limited education in regions throughout the United States. In one recent example of this, Oklahoma-based Consumer Financial Services Corporation may be hiring as many as 2,000 new workers in North Carolina, according to the Winston-Salem Journal.
The source reports that the firm's CEO, Bill Bartmann, met with community leaders in Winston-Salem to explore possible sites for a new office. He said that salaries at the facilities would range from $35,000 to $120,000.
"I will look at each community for three main things: quality of its worker pool, quality of the call center facility and economic incentives," Bartmann said, according to the source. "Those are our criteria and needs. We're trying to find sites and communities that can meet them."
The call center sector continues to add jobs in regions throughout the country. In Kentucky, for example, Xerox plans to hire 300 new workers at its Lexington location, while AT&T plans to hire 50 employees, WSAZ-TV reports.
