The article mentions my area of residence: "Shannon and her co-workers had gotten the news back in October: The factory was closing. [..]Roller bearings would go to McAllen, Tex. About 300 workers would lose their jobs." My assumption that the owners moved it to my city is that Texas is a Right of Work State, South Texas has lower paying jobs, and it is two hours away from Monterrey, Mexico. McAllen has a high poverty rate which is on par with the region. But there is not much in the way of manufacturing industry around here. Tourism, import/export, agriculture (rapidly dwindling), service, and health industries are our mainstays.
