Nissan
Toyota
Eurocopter
Yokohama
Aurora
Servrcor (or whatever the F it is called)

Just to name a few.

The reason these places work: They pay marginally more than the common / local "plant" does. Nobody is gonna clean up their act and start acting "professional" for construction pay. Lots of local plants do a cost of living survey and pay mississippians half of what they pay in other states to produce the same product. Employers are realizing they too are getting what they pay for. I understand the competitive market and that personnel are your most expensive asset but higher skilled technical / assembly jobs are on the uptick in Mississippi.

There is no "one size fits all" manufacturing solution these days. If you have high labor costs, the US loses. If you have high energy costs, the US wins.

As I mentioned earlier there are opportunities to move some manufacturing back to the US, but it is very complicated even in the best of circumstances.

I would tell you my strategy for moving plants, but then I would have to kill you.
