For the hundreds if not thousands of Cherokee County citizens out of work currently, I believe the best industry that could be instituted locally would be more manufacturers. Manufacturing facilities offer people with little formal education to get their foot in the door doing basic jobs while continuing their education (if desired) in the hopes of working their way upwards in salary and benefits. For Cherokee County to be a productive and beneficial county we need to start producing instead of simply consuming. Companies worldwide are making money off of our citizens by making products that could be produced locally, while supplying our citizens with job opportunities. Manufacturing facilities are the single most important industry that we are lacking and yet need locally in the near future.
Health care products manufacturing or pharmaceutical development or manufacturing Heavy industry, manufacturing
Heavy manufacturing, such as large scale automotive, aerospace, industrial equipment, or similar industry. This would bring more opportunity for all levels of Cherokee County residents, from manual labor through higher level technical and management. It would also provide a basis for small businesses to establish.
High-tech manufacturing
I prefer working for a manufacturing company in a sales administration / service capacity.
I think more businesses with a larger manufacturing base locating in Cherokee County would be beneficial to our County. It would create more jobs and provide more stability to our County.

Healthcare/Medical 33
A hospital with a trauma center
A larger hospital located closer to Woodstock with excellent critical care facilities and pay commensurate with the metro Atlanta area. I previously worked at R.T. Jones and left due to low pay and at the time the ICU did not offer the services that truly critically ill patients require. Also, I would love to see a college that offers Masters and Doctorates in Nursing located in Cherokee County. I am currently pursuing those degrees and plan to teach nursing.

Any that would offer employment for upper management positions.
Business that is has needs for management and/or professional skills that are not related to education or medical.
Businesses the employ white collar computer professionals. There is NO company in Cherokee County that requires my knowledge and skills set. I would like to see jobs come to Cherokee County that offered mid to upper level professional positions. It seems the jobs available in the county now are focused on small business, medical/hospital, and retail. I think the county needs more diversity and higher skill and paying jobs to retain the residents to work here.
More corporate/professional positions are needed. Thus, the county will need to attract both small and large companies that employee professionals and pay market salaries. I have interviewed for roles in Cherokee county, but the pay was way below market.

Regional division or headquarters that would have office/administrative positions such as sales and marketing.
Regional office from some of the major corporations in Georgia and around the country. I previously worked at Home Depot's corporate office and know many others in my neighborhood alone that work there as well. A Home Depot regional office in this area would benefit greatly. I'd certainly try to go back to work there if I didn't have the long commute anymore.

The call center I work in has nearly 2,000 people in it and it is near capacity. You should be reaching out to Bank of America to move some or all of that operation in Cobb County here. I can think of the Bluffs as a fantastic location if they would be willing to move or expand into Cherokee County. There are colleges here that Bank of America can utilize to attract new talent. Outside of Bank of America, there are other companies with call centers in Cobb County and with the right incentives maybe some would move or expand this way.
