Taiwan-based electronics manufacturer Foxconn is struggling to find enough skilled workers for its planned facility in Wisconsin and may bring in personnel from China, the Wall Street Journal reported Tuesday.
The report said Foxconn, which makes devices and components for Apple and other tech firms, is facing a tight labor market for the manufacturing plant, which is getting some $3 billion in incentives from the midwestern state.
The company has pledged to hire 13,000 workers at the southern Wisconsin site, but some reports say the total may be lower as Foxconn scales back its initial plans.
They should offer American workers more festive suicide nets.

Actually, to "get" enough qualified workers a business must not only pay well, but provide training, help with education, good medical, and long time job and income protection such as pension plans and unions support. Then, may be, a sizable business could secure the labor.
That's the difference between a developed economy and a banana republic which both parties have to learn.
