How the U.S. Lost Out on iPhone Work
The President, in his State of the Union address, is talking about bringing manufacturing jobs back to the United States. Here’s the stark reality: China is efficient…REAL efficient:
A foreman immediately roused 8,000 workers inside the company’s dormitories, according to the executive. Each employee was given a biscuit and a cup of tea, guided to a workstation and within half an hour started a 12-hour shift fitting glass screens into beveled frames. Within 96 hours, the plant was producing over 10,000 iPhones a day.
“The speed and flexibility is breathtaking,” the executive said. “There’s no American plant that can match that.”
96 hours to throw together a plant that produces 10,000 iPhones in the United States? Not a chance…not without some serious infrastructure changes and education reform.
