JVC closed its last American TV factory, in New Jersey, back about 1999. Production was moved to Tijuana, Mexico. After about 8 years that factory closed too. Back around 2005 Tijuana was the TV manufacturing capital of the world, not anymore. Sony, Sanyo, and other Japanese TV manufacturers have bailed out of Mexico. Production went to China. Why pay a Mexican $8 per day when you can pay a tiny fraction of that to a Chinese worker.

But it's capitalism, so it must be good.

A few get rich while we race to the bottom.
