Shift to domestic sourcing -most impt info in the piece is on wages. It tells us the aver wage at Double A Molding, one of Excel’s dom suppliers, is $21/hr.

“But finding enough workers, even with aver operator pay ~$21/hr, is a constant struggle.”

The aver pay for non-supervisory workers in the prv sector as a whole is $10 higher at $31.06. Even retail workers do somewhat better with an aver pay of $21.44. Min wage would be >$26/hr today...
