For a manager probably, not even Boeing pays that in SC or Audi.

The point I was making is that there are so many factors (some of which are unknown) to consider when projecting costs. Simple math is not going to work. People need jobs. Those that aren't working are often relying on some form of public assistance.

Unlikely. 10-13,000 would makeFoxconn the 2nd largest employer in the state, behind the 15,000 at University of Wisconsin-Madison.

20 million square feet is almost a square mile - a building about 1 mile long by 1 mile wide.

"At 20 million square feet, the factory would be three times the size of the Pentagon, making it one of the largest manufacturing campuses in the nation."

I feel kinda glad NC didn't get this. Line workers are paid $8/hr per glassdoor. Too much tax dollar would have been wasted. NC's winning of 2,000 tech jobs are better stimulus.

Kinda makes those much maligned "welfare queens" look like pikers...

FOXCONN is notorious in China and very few people want to work there if they have other choices.

Dozens of workers committed suicide there and some engineers were (allegedly) murdered for "stealing secrets".

You guess what? They installed suicide nets to prevent workers jumping out of the window.
