As many may already know, the City of Linton recently completed a Comprehensive Plan, which was done with the help of Bernardin, Lochmueller and Associates, Inc., an Evansville-based firm. This extensive report contains a plethora of information, facts, and figures about the City of Linton and Greene County as a whole.

From this report, I have pulled a few interesting tidbits about area employment, the largest employers, and average commute times for residents, such as:

*	Fifty-one percent of Greene County residents work outside of Greene County. Nearly half of those commuters are traveling into Monroe County.

*	The top employers in Linton by number of employees:
o	Wal-Mart (300 employees);
o	Greene County General Hospital (200 employees); and
o	Linton-Stockton Township School Corporation (150 employees)

*	The average travel time for workers living in Linton is 30 minutes. The list below shows the percentage of commuters by travel time:
o	40 percent - less than 15 minutes
o	20 percent - 15 to 30 minutes
o	12 percent - 30 to 45 minutes
o	11 percent - 45 to 60 minutes
o	17 percent - more than 1 hour

pretty sad when Wal-mart's your biggest employer--- not just from the pay scale but that the profit and control on these jobs is in Bentonville, AR........
