ATTITUDE TO FOREIGNERS WORKING IN HAYWOOD

Haywood does have a small issue with many locals being apprehensive about dealing with or hiring foreign workers, especially when compared to neighbouring Buncombe County which is very open to the fact. The Hispanic population in Haywood County has had a hard fight to gain momentum and respect among the locals but are now pretty widely accepted in most areas.

Residents of other countries (I.E. Russia, most of Eastern Europe, Germany, Middle Eastern countries, etc.) still run into some issues with the locals, but some of us are hoping that if we can bring more foreign work to the area, it will open the hearts and minds of many of the locals and be a great teaching opportunity!
