Can these numbers be right ?.... this is over one million dollars per job with 600 of them temporary construction jobs. Unbelievable !
Do you understand the difference between capital intensive and labor intensive.
If we wanted to make it labor intensive, we could spend far less capital with bicycles hooked up to generators and then hire many more workers. Estimate that at a thousand dollars per job.
The first thing the capital equipment salesman tells the buyer is how many jobs will be removed from the payroll.
