How to reword: I also agree that unemployment rates and cost of living are two key factors to consider when deciding what geographic location might be best for this plant. I personally landed on Alabama, which was one of the options on your list. I, too, chose to select a plant manager from inside the current managerial ranks. I appreciate the detailed reasoning you listed for this decision. Utilizing the person/job match seems like the way to go. I like that you mentioned reducing startup costs because that likely has a large impact. I selected to start with a flexible workforce, but I appreciate the reasons you mentioned to avoid relying heavily on this staff, such as, the higher per-hour rate, etc. Thank you for getting me to see this perspective. I also appreciate the ethical issues you mentioned and how to address them. Great post, Christopher
