You want to know why Hostess and all the other companies are shutting down in America?
Beijing tops the list of China's employees' salary with an average monthly pay of 4,672 yuan ($730) among the 23 provinces and cities that recently published the statistics, chinanews.com reported Friday.
That's about $4.50 per hour and that's the top province. The rest of China is below that.
Now I know everyone is going to say what's that got to do with Twinkies. It has to do with all the stuff required to make those Twinkies, The Fuel, Electricity, Parts for machines, Flour, delivery trucks, Etc.
That receiving clerk making $48 Grand....$24.00 per hour
Those figures don't even address Retirement plans and other benefits.
That's why Hostess is closed. We simply cannot compete in the world market.
I wonder why?
