Foxconn

CHICAGO: The pledge by Taiwan's Foxconn to build a US$10bil (RM42.7bil) factory in southern Wisconsin has ignited cross-border competition with Illinois over which state’s residents will get the jobs created by the project. 

Backers of Wisconsin’s US$3bil (RM12.83bil) incentives package, which is quickly moving through the state legislature, estimate Foxconn’s plant and related investments could create more than 23,000 factory, construction and ancillary jobs.
