Jobs and Growth
The area’s pro-business attitude starts with government, and is further supported by a multitude of organizations that work together to aggressively pursue growth and progress.  Two city governments, a county economic development team, and the Chamber of Commerce work to make it easy for business to locate in the Greater Blytheville Area area and take advantage of the incentives that will lead to greater prosperity.  With 5,000 manufacturing jobs—and more all the time—three school districts, dozens of churches, a hospital and a college, good employment opportunity is available, and as commerce continues to develop, both businesses and residents are served by a comprehensive list of professionals. To assist in filling workforce needs the community features three leading employment services each staffed by specialists in industrial and professional placement.  Major banks offer up-to-date financial services and lending capabilities, and both cities are served by a comprehensive list of attorneys, accountants and professional consultants.
