A man I met in Guadalajara said that he had moved the
manufacturing facility of his business to Mexico to take advantage of the
cheap labor available there.
He made and sold a specific type of paint. He said that it didn't
work out as well as he expected. He said that when his customers saw
"Hecho en Mexico" on the jars of paint, they either refused to buy it
because they felt that the quality wouldn't be as good as in the US or,
they demanded big discounts because they knew that it was costing him
less to make than it did with US labor. Dave Johnson
