Wisconsin has moved forward a $3bn incentives package to lure manufacturing giant Foxconn to the US state.
Governor Scott Walker (R) said the gift would cement the Taiwanese goliath plans to build a $10bn manufacturing plant in Wisconsin that would be charged with assembling LCD displays. The proposed plant is set to employ about 13,000 workers, so that's, what, $230,000 a head? Foxconn rakes in billions of dollars in profit a year.
