Good -- Volvo is almost finished their facilities here. They started building them in 2015 -- 3900 jobs -- WOW right. They will be up and running late summer.
It only took 3 years but wow look at that jobs in the thousands.
Thankfully Toyota and Volvo will be helping out those bad private sector job losses this quarter. The first time in 7 years. Yikes.
You can only imagine the laughter in Foreign companies Boardrooms as they say "Hey, folks in the American South will work for less.....it's the "new china" and, heck, we don't have to give them health care and all the other stuff we've been giving our workers for decades.
Car manufacturing is becoming so automated that there simply won't be enough jobs to move the needle...although some of the suppliers can make out well.
Then again, we'd have to look at the wages and benefits of the suppliers factories (here).
Remember, anyone who isn't getting paid MORE than a living wage and also able to pay all medical bills, have a retirement, etc. ends up costing all of us. The result is this chart.....I support full employment and good jobs, but the whole idea here is to actually make a "profit" - meaning we can pay down debt and deficit and also live well. Anything else is wage slavery with the end result of the Blue State paying the way when the workers wear out.
Look at MS. They take DOUBLE what they give. Sad. It's a failed state in most every metric. That doesn't mean there are not good people there, just that they are very different in terms of innovation, production, etc. as a whole.
It is questionable whether foreign automakers really need the subsidies, as tax incentives aren't necessarily the main driver of site locations, but once it's established, they're all looking for a bit of a handout.
It seems the Magnolia State actually got off relatively cheaply when it came to showering taxpayer money on Toyota. They soaked Nissan to the tune of $1.3 Billion for their Canton, MS plant.
Against a national average of $1,935 in intergovernmental spending per American, red states receive just $1,879. Blue states get considerably more, at $2,124 per resident. Purple states see the least of their money returned to them per capita, at just $1,770. Measured in this way, the blue states are getting quite a bit more than the red or purple.

Do you not understand that the cost of living in Mississippi and many other states in the American South are way less than they are in the American North and West? Its a smart business decision.

Get this straight. Like it or not Right to Work, overall, is a losing proposition. This is because after a few years it was passed Oklahoma City lost its huge GM plant. Later on in my town a plant that once employed as many as 1200 people permanently shut down. This happened even though workers there always voted down a union wanting to come in. So please don't make yourself look like an uninformed fool again by saying Right to Work wins.
But let's face it. This kind of news would be a dime a dozen in blue states. Heck, it wouldn't even be news. Take Chicago, the favorite right-wing punching bag; that city gets jobs like this almost on a monthly basis. And they get those cushy professional high-paying jobs.

Why don't you support a different taxing system then to stop this redistribution of wealth?
