So if they have 5000 people working there, 5000 people will be looking for those "McJobs".
Many of them won't find another job, or at least not quick enough to provide food on the table.
- povertyworld 7y agoAccording to the article, demand for the Mac Pro tapered off years ago, and they were down to "a skeleton crew". The original plant opening had some kind of tax deal for "up to 500 jobs", so even at peak it was not making a huge difference. Texas supposedly has a 3.8% unemployment rate right now, so there is apparently a lot of work available. I like Apple, but assembling the Mac Pro in Texas was overrated.
