In reply to the discussion: Steve Jobs colluded with other tech co's to keep US employee compensation low [View all]WCGreen
(45,558 posts)48. It is not about meeting good consumer price points....
It is all about continuing to rise profits so their stock remians high and their retirements and protfolios keep rising.
They could easily manufature them here in the US for a bit more cash but also a bit lower profit margin.
Make no mistake about it, all the decision makers well being is tied to stock performance and that is based on continued high profit margins...
It's not okay to see what 5% to 8% profits, they want 25% to 30% profits.
