We need to watch what wages do more than anything at this point. That will be a good indicator of continued growth as companies position themselves to boost productivity through other means outside of additional personnel that they won’t be able to find. Foxconn breaks ground this year. 13,000 employees at $56,000 per year. Local businesses in Milwaukee are going to have to raise pay to retain employees. Wisconsin gave the Chinese $4 billion in incentives and relaxed environmental standards. Welcome to little Beijing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Especially to fill the more technical positions. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Doubtful on the r&d, but the plant will still require various levels of IT, mfg engineers, quality engineers, test engineers. They aren't making cheese.
