ELKHART COUNTY ― In the community of Middlebury, just about everyone knows someone who is been laid off from work in the RV industry. 'My Dad was,' said Krysten Mishler. 'His hours were cut and then he was completely laid off, and I know it was really hard for them.' But now things were picking up. Mishler's Dad once again has a job in an RV factory, and he is far from alone. Since last summer, Jayco has recalled or hired more than 200 workers, and this week Derald Bontrager, the company's president and chief operating officer, announced Jayco is increasing production rates as a result of 'higher than anticipated levels of incoming orders.' 'As a result of improving market conditions, lower dealer inventories, and retail incentives provided to dealers, Jayco needs to significantly increase our output in order to meet rising demand for our products,' said Bontrager. Last spring, the company was producing approximately 75 RVs a day.
