Good Outsourcing News
Here's some good outsourcing news for eastern Arkansas.
Gov. Mike Huckabee and top executives for Japan's Hino Motors Ltd. will hold a groundbreaking ceremony Thursday for a new manufacturing plant that will make rear axle parts for Toyota trucks.
The plant will be located in Marion, which is just across the river from Memphis, and will provide somewhere between 400 and 2,000 new jobs.
I'm surprised this doesn't happen more often. There's a huge labor pool in the economically depressed Arkansas Delta, plenty of railroads and river access for shipping....and Arkansas is a right-to-work state, which means unions ain't real popular here.
To put it mildly.
