    If you offer good pay and good benefits at a decent working environment people will flock to assembly lines in the US. Christ they were basically invented here.

        No. No it doesn’t.

        There are 7.1 million people unemployed in the US officially. Realistically that number is probably much, much higher.

        You’re saying apple can’t hire a few hundred people to work on an assembly line?

          That’s ~4% that is typically considered low but even if it wasn’t.

          It’s not one assembly line, and one product only… it’s every component from the chips to the glass, screen, circuit board and then the final one on.

          You would need also experienced people in every part you would need to manufacture including engineers that are in short supply, an nevermind building the factories etc…
