Savannah to get $5.5B Hyundai Plant

The vastness majority of those jobs will be low pay. The average line worker for Hyundai makes $17 an hour. Can’t even live in that in today’s world.

You must not be with the Chamber of Commerce.

 

I’m thinking that’s a good job for Trump country

 

Based on stories out of the Hyundai Alabama plant, it looks like one of the primary concerns is finding states where worker safety issues will be ignored.

 

Just to cover all the TH bases, this is an EV and Battery plant.

 

Curious if it will be near the port?

 

I just spent a weekend in Savanah. Either I am getting older or the young are taking over the area.

 

So businesses are dumping MAGA states for purple states now I guess.

 

I read that they like the color purple better than red.

 

I am wondering about that. It seems that any state with a low tax base but a pro woman political standard would clean up in getting new factories.

 

With higher fuel costs, some companies may find benefits for shipping goods directly to East Coast ports. Savannah serves Atlanta distribution centers.

 

And because of politics another EV plant is being held up in Georgia for Rivian.

 

Broke ground today. Impressive numbers the same as they announced this spring: $5.5 billion plant, 8,100 workers and 300,000 EVs a year in first phase.

Once again this comes to mind.

You would think the benefits would spread beyond the immediate area. 300,000 vehicles a year must require a lot of parts built elsewhere and shipped in.

 

Some people want EV’s why is it an issue that Red states are getting the plants? Perhaps the companies building these facilities don’t want to deal with Unions who are more prevalent in “blue states”.

 

You don’t see the irony in red states like Georgia are getting a number of EV plants despite frequently vote against EVs and green measures, plus have lower EV ownership than purple and blue states? Hell, Georgia is even fighting the Rivian EV plant.
