&gt; WARROAD, Minn. — Locals like to say this 2,000-person town just miles from the Canadian border is known for three things: walleye, hockey and windows.<p>&gt; Marvin, which is run by the great-grandchildren of its founder George Marvin [...] faces a [...] existential problem: not enough workers at that factory, which employs more than 700 people to assemble its windows. Baby boomers are retiring from the company at a rate of about one a week and the town’s population has hardly budged for decades. That math leaves Marvin with dozens of job openings and few takers.<p>&gt; At Marvin, $Relocated_Worker_Name, 23, earns $16 an hour as an entry-level assembler.<p>Cost of living had better be darn low in Warroad, for people to relocate to such a trendy spot at that kinda money. And the locals (what few there are) aren&#x27;t much interested, either:<p>&gt; Ninety percent of this year’s 81 Warroad High School seniors plan to go to four-year colleges. At a job fair last month at Warroad’s American Legion hall, recruiters outnumbered job seekers for much of the event. Marvin representatives spoke to five potential applicants over three hours.<p>(Meanwhile, down in definitely-trendy Ann Arbor, MI, a friend of mine just had his home water heater replaced. $400&#x2F;hour for the plumber, and finding one who wasn&#x27;t &quot;sorry, already booked up&quot; was not easy.)
