No factory worker should make that much it is absurd no wonder the world is fucked.
A minority of communist union workers get stupidly high ridiculous hourly rates while the majority of others get low pay.

67 dollars an hour for a position that doesn't even require any education....lol

Well, for a small audience and an elite market, sure they can use labor that is $67 or even higher

For a small group of elite buyers, the very fact the labor is $60, $90 or even $200/hr could be part of the bragging rights

However, if you were to start producing a mass market item, with costs priced in a currency which is already 30-50% more expensive than the $USD, it may work against you

Depends on your market, your audience, and how much revenue about cost you wish to make.

Original Message Putting the lie to the overpaid auto worker bullshit line the supposed conservatives love to spew. You know, the kind of ashole who won't be satisfied until everybody is making 13 cents an hour just like they do in China.

The fact of the matter is, there used to be 30 or 40 thousand people working in an assembly plant. In the age of automation, they now do he same job with 5 thousand. That means every auto worker can be paid like 6 or 8 men and the company still makes money.

And why should they be paid like 6 or 8 men you ask? You can bet that if General Motors had robots that could do their jobs, there would be nobody working in those plants. The fact that those workers can't be replaced, makes their labor valuable.
