Manufacturing Returns


Some manufacturing will come to large metro areas. Pop Displays is moving its manufacturing from Yonkers NY to East Point GA.

Pop Displays will move its headquarters and 54 jobs from Yonkers NY to Rye Brook NY. It will move its manufacturing operations and 250 jobs to East Point GA.  Pop Displays designs and manufactures retail displays.

Yonkers NY is on the Hudson River just north of Manhattan. Rye Brook is further north by Connecticut.
East Point GA is a city in the South Atlanta Metro.


Comments

Georgia is a Right to Work State and responded to the electronics boom in the 1980s. Manufacturing operations moved from the unionized northern states beginning in the 1960s to escape their labor unions. Now most union employees work for the government, the utilities or really dumb companies.

East Point GA is 80% Black. I expect adult minorities will move to manufacturing and vacate the minimum wage fast food jobs as this economy restores itself.

Minimum wage fast-food and retail jobs need to be filled by 16 to 20 year old students working part-time and summers.
