23. Will my kids be able to work here?  Projections show that the population will grow faster than job growth through 2030.  Chilton County is in a great location, right on the I-65 corridor in between two of the largest metropolitan areas in the state.  Chilton County’s schools produce large number of students who graduate high school and then go to college.  The question that arises is does everyone that lives in Chilton County wish to work in Chilton County, or do they choose to live there rather than in the metropolitan areas in which they work?  Good news is that if employment increases in Chilton County over the next decade rather than decreases, the County has plenty of workers to fill those positions.
