Any more you hear the same complaints about the west coast mfr's. And its not limited to the fr and Keystones. And paying higher labor cost does not change the available labor pool, same people, same lousy attitude, but now at a higher cost. Wal Mart being a perfect example.
100% true. Wages are only reflective of cost of living standards. Cheaper to live in areas have lower wages. Wages have nothing to do with worker skills.
Out here on the West coast the same MFG that're in Indiana build the same junk while paying a higher minimum wage.
