New Volvo Plant Here

Still looking for an independent cost/benefit analysis - this a pretty honest 2 year old "state of the economic State" white paper from Wells Fargo (hate Wells Fargo), but not the company focused analysis I'm looking for.

Well, like I said, if the $8.25 an hour checkout girl at the Piggly Wiggly can get on with Volvo at $12.00 an hour it will be a net gain.

But she still won't be able to afford to go to the Dentist.

I don't think you'll find one. If the state even did such an analysis, they won't make it public, claiming it has 'competition sensitive and/or Volvo-proprietary' data in it.

And 'independent,' you say? What independent entity do you imagine could and would do such an analysis?

Banks, investment firms, possibly the GAO (depending on if Fed. money was involved at start-up), commercial credit rating agencies - I am sure the work has been done, I'll find it sooner or later.
