It sure could be, it could also turn into an Amazon-Tijuana situation at the negative extreme (https://youtu.be/HFlsW9yulH0?si=n-FKLqVOEWWmDOpa https://youtu.be

In the pov of locals excluded (or let’s say not hired) from the factory, they have less chance of access to a wage and skill development than those on the inside.
It’s possible we didn’t get it built so they just didn’t reach the step where they do a hiring event. It’s also possible they were never going to hire locals, and parts and labor were shipped in with no intent to use the area for anything but a footprint and utilities.
We see what we want to see in these things, and you’re right, it could have had some positives eventually.
- tpm 1y ago> It’s also possible they were never going to hire locals I find that very unlikely. In Slovakia we have a lot of Korean factories (Kia, Samsung etc) and while the management is Korean, they always hire local workers if available, otherwise agencies hire who's available - in our case workers from Serbia, Ukraine and Central Asia (that's not an unique situation, there is a general shortage of relatively-low-wage workers in the EU so people from outside are brought in to work here full time).
