VT Halter Marine still hiring to handle backlog of business

It's a sign you don't see very often these days: Now Hiring.

But that's just what a Pascagoula shipyard is doing.

VT Halter Marine has hired some 400 new workers since July and is looking to hire 150 more. Despite the struggling economy, the company has a backlog of ship building business until 2013.
