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.

Promising not to rob someone is not the same as giving someone money.

But they ARE giving someone money. It's not just future tax abatements. The state is sinking state taxpayer money RIGHT NOW into roads and infrastructure - money that Foxconn doesn't have to spend on construction that Foxconn doesn't have to construct.
