I may be missing something here, but I think this involves a major new project going up in Mobile Alabama, so it is creating some American jobs. Whether it will be equal to Boeing I have no idea, but this contract is another huge boom to the Mobile area. It is on fire business wise. Forbes ranked it the number one medium sized city in the country and speculates it will grow by 35% in just a few years.
I've read that this contract will mean that Mobile will become the 3rd largest aircraft manufacturing area in the world.
I tell you most folks down here are celebrating. I was at Bonefish with my parents yesterday when the press conference came on and every TV in the bar area was turned to it. It’s a big deal for us - tons of new jobs and according to the paper this morning the average wage will be $65K....and yes, we are a part of the good old US of A!!!
Yeah, I saw Jeff Sessions on Lou Dobbs last night discussing this-Oddly enough I didn’t see a single Democrat anywhere supporting this. McCain is so going to lose.
