A few minimum wage jobs? So we can pay $3700 for the iPhone?
The monthly minimum wage for a factory worker in Beijing is $369 a MONTH. $339 a month in other cities like Shanghai.
So again, what is the benefit for the American citizens by forcing Apple to manufacture here? You will cut their unit sales by 70%, having to sell them at $3700...which cuts those minimum wage factory workers you claim is a benefit to all Americans too, with now manufacturing less of them.
Some things manufactured overseas could be brought home and the rise in price won't be as dramatic or unaffordable, but Apple iPhones isn't one of them imo.
Last I checked 25% on a $1000 item is $250. $1250 phone. We pay Trillions in blue city welfare. Do math. Go to work.
We are talking massive state of art MFG sites. It's not simply "a few jobs" you ignorant Oxyen , the pair. Get off these boards. APPL is a $1T market cap or close.
