Japanese wages are getting to the level where US labor is cheaper

what? R U saying that wages paid to workers to build a product means something?

and I will bet that new 46% increase in Illinois's corporate income tax didn't help either

In addition to the 1400 new jobs at the Cat plant, there'll be another 2800 more new jobs created for satellite companies such as suppliers. No mention of any kind of tax deal, but it's great that they're moving operations back here from overseas. I'm guessing rising shipping costs probably played a part in the decision too.

I haven't seen any data yet to support this, but I'm guessing wages in many other places around the world probably are going up, as are shipping costs to make stuff overseas and ship it back here.

I saw a blurb the other day ala japan plans on raising taxes across the board....so, trickle down and the Ill. tax rise says, go somewhere else.

Imagine that, capital and manuf. moving to a friendly tax & non union climate.....

Georgia recently got a KIA plant too, I wonder if anyone has any data about new plants opening up in RTW states vs union states lately.

Economically speaking, leftists beat their dog and then wonder why it runs away.

 

[Mr. H.]

It's probably not so much that GA is a right to work state, as IL is a rightly fucked up state.

 

[editec]

The selection came after the Peoria, Ill., maker of heavy equipment reviewed proposals from "more than 100 communities in three dozen states plus Canada and Mexico," a spokesman said on Friday.

Wonder what sort of massive tax giveaways the Georgia taxpayers will end up having to give to Caterillar?

Georgia obviously gave away more than those 99 other communities.
