They talked about manufacturing satellites, some of this aerospace stuff is in Alabama because a senator back in the 60s got some space contracts for the Huntsville area - good luck finding people who want to move to AL. Not saying that the poster is necessarily in AL, but if they are then that could be a reason they're not finding people.

Some people say that when you leave Huntsville you enter Alabama.

Granted, it is still a red state.

This. If you're not in or near a major urban center you're going to have to really be attractive to pull people in to work there.

And if you are near a major urban center pay needs to reflect the HCOL environment or the unpaid commute time.
