Fresh air

Florida isn't known as a manufacturing state, but it turns out there's plenty of labor to support the industry. Just ask Inovo, a manufacturer of equipment that helps people breathe better.

A sign posted on the door at Inovo's manufacturing, engineering and assembly facility in Lehigh Acres tells job prospects the company no longer takes walk-in applications.

Since the company relocated its operations to Lee County from Collier County last year, Inovo has been swamped with so many job seekers that it had to stop taking applications from walk-in candidates. The company now has 100 employees.
