The Foxconn plant will only start with 3,000 jobs with the 'maximum potential' of 13,000 jobs.
Note the qualifiers 'could' and 'maximum potential' before any quote of 13,000 jobs in any news article. It is in Foxconn's best interest to inflate the 'max potential' number as high as it can. 3,000 instead of 13,000 jobs makes a lot less sense for the state.
Yes. No way in hell there will be 13,000 jobs, or even 3000 for LCD manufacturing line. There are $B manufacturing facilities that employe less than 50 people. My guess it will be about 300 people in the end.
