Shannon Callahan spends a lot of time studying the local job market.

She said one area seeing growth is manufacturing and that is influencing other industries. “The sales team of a manufacturing company can go out and sell those products and to fill those orders, companies hire more designers, more engineers and more production to fulfill the orders.”
Callahan also said call centers are a hot spot for jobs.
