What other corporations might move?
Intel is pretty much in Arizona at this time.
INTEL is huge for the Portland economy, if they pulled out, it would be lights out in Portlandia.
Uh, no.
Intel HQ and two biggest facilities are in California.
Most manufacturing is done outside the country. There are small manufacturing operations scattered round the country.
“What other corporations might move?”
All corporations might move, incl. hotels, restaurants, taverns, especially any company that is employee heavy. Now that $15 per hour is coming, businesses are going.
