…not sure why you are downing the department of commerce, it’s not the departments fault that SMPI no longer felt the SC plant was contributing to their bottom line. If there were no efforts to attract these jobs, although temporary jobs, who knows what those families may have faced had those jobs not come to SC at all… unfortunately, SC doesn’t have the best capabilities of attracting business, and business leaders are really not ethical enoughto do business for business sake… corporate business is as corrupt as govt… “birds of a feather, do flock together”…
I don’t think Will is downing the department of commerce. He is bringing something to light that I have harped on for the past 2 years. Nikki Haley announces new jobs on a regular basis but you don’t hear about the jobs that are leaving SC. Nikki Haley is sticking her head in the sand and pretending like no jobs are leaving SC. I simply want to know what the net gain/net loss is jobs since Haley took office. I am willing to be that it is a net loss – the unemployment rate is lower than the national average and thanks to Nikki Haley – many people are no longer eligible for unemployment benefits – so those people aren’t even counted anymore.

Not surprised they’d move. It is likely cheaper to consolidate production. We can’t compete with Chinese wages, even if we are a dirt poor state, and it is just cheaper to operate fully out of Michigan.
Besides that, it is only ~40 jobs lost at this point. Not sure how many jobs this plant had at its peak, though.

And in fact that second link above (posted by ‘?’) mentions that a subsidiary of the SMPI opened a plant in China in 2004.
Or link below, that is. I’m not used to FITS’ new format yet.
