Summary: The warehouse industry in the Lehigh Valley -- fulfillment centers, logistics, transportation -- has exploded over the past five years as major e-commerce companies have planted operations here. But the industry is nearing the ceiling in terms of available land and available workers. On the bright side, there's an untapped workforce of ex-inmates that the state department of corrections is molding into skilled workers for hire. Host Kayla Dwyer speaks with business reporter Jon Harris and cops reporter Laurie Mason Schroeder about the growing pains of this market and how adults with criminal records may fill in some gaps. Valley View is a production of The Morning Call in Allentown, Pennsylvania. Special thanks to our sponsor, the Lehigh Center for Clinical Research.
