<Of course, it can be argued (and has been argued on
<this list)that assembly jobs are really not worth
<chasing anyway.

Some non economist blan in Hayti once asked me what an "assembly" 
industry was.
My answer was 'a sewing company'. Most of them I guess.

I bought a nice bandana, a mouchwa, with the Haytian flag on it.
A young woman of the neighborhood ( whose school fees I pay ) had it. 
She paid seven $ht for it.
I bought it from her.

It was made in China. Says so right there on the Haitian flag.

In Union fey la force.
