That means a handful of execs and/or upper level managers will make six figures. Everyone else will make far, far less than that.
I'm not trying to be negative. But I've been involved in announcing projects like this and the numbers are always inflated and purposefully misconstrued. When I worked for a large company in New Orleans, we announced a big project in another part of the state. As part of the number of employees and average salary, we included executive team members in New Orleans who might visit that site once or twice a year, just to make the numbers look better.
That's generally not how that works. Certainly an average doesn't mean median or modal in this context, but it's not going to be a made up number.
See my post above. It absolutely could be a made up number. I've been involved in making them up before.
This is in terms of todays dollars. No telling what the inflation adjustment would show, I’m sure.
Agree with this -- always is a lot of inflation. And aren't mid-terms coming up? How timely!
Mississippi looking more like Detroit and GTR looking more like Cleveland and Pittsburgh? Interesting
At least they won't have to rely on applying for a job at the local Target!
Na. It’s an established company that already has a plant in the area where the actual, real world salary is six figures for the guys out there doing the work. Take your L on this one.
Let me rephrase that. The current members at MDA will not put a made up number out there. They may massage the numbers (e.g., the total jobs announced could be for multiple phases of a project when subsequent phases are obviously subject to economic conditions), and they may pick the sunnier side of projections to make the announcement sound as good as possible, but they aren't turning 50 jobs paying $20 an hour and 5 executives making $80k to $125k a year into 1000 jobs and $93k average salary.
Surely making 80's without a college degree will entice people to relocate? I remember when the Nissan plant opened they had people commuting over an hour for entry level jobs because they paid (I think) $15 an hour plus benefits (which even then was crazy). I know people don't like to move anymore and fewer people leave their home town than in the past, but surely at some point the money is good enough? Especially when you're talking about moving to a relatively low cost of living area.
No state elections and nobody running for any federal office in the GTR has any serious opposition. Try again.
If he had any experience in the field at all he would be a home run hire. The guy is just flat out amazing at what he does.
You’d think so, but for whatever reason, turnover is fairly high and replacing the people who leave is a slow process. SDI does have some standards that make some applicants ineligible, but if you can read, write and work night shift, you shouldn’t have a problem. The opportunities are great once you get on board and the company as a whole values its employees. The only thing that has concerned me lately is that it feels like we are growing a little bit too fast. I suppose that is a good problem to have though.
I know people who have driven from Carroll and Leflore counties since the Nissan was opened.
