KentuckyWired beats goal of 60% local labor By Randy Lutke Frankfort, KY -. -When the KentuckyWired broadband project began building its 3,350-mile network of high-speed fiber optic cable, the Commonwealth ensured that at least 60 percent of work-hours used for construction would be from local labor, and included that requirement in the state's contract with its builder. Three years into the project that promise has not only been kept, but exceeded. The latest report from KentuckyWired's primary contractor, NG-KIH Design-Build LLC, shows 80 percent of construction work-hours to date have been performed by Kentucky citizens. This news comes in concert with the Kentucky Cabinet for Education and Workforce Development's notice that the 2018 unemployment rate in Kentucky dropped to 4.3 percent, the lowest annual jobless rate in the Commonwealth since 2000.
