Would Haiti be a good source of cheap manufacturing labor?
- leroy_masochist 9y agoYes. There are a lot of textile operations there and they are starting to manufacture electronics as well. Significant investment into this infrastructure (industrial parks, etc) went in after the earthquake.
- Vaskerville 9y agoThere was significant investment and most of that has lead to very little. There are efforts recently trying to do more complicated textile manufacturing but I have heard that factory owners aren't interested in doing more than simple things. Probably for a variety of reasons including lack of skilled workers, training, etc. The only electronics I have heard about (I live in Haiti) is Surtab (http://surtab.com/ http://surtab.com/).
