...Nissan and Honda have encountered difficulties getting new plants up to full production in recent years in Mississippi and Alabama due to an untrained - and often illiterate - workforce. In Alabama, trainers had to use "pictorials" to teach some illiterate workers how to use high-tech plant equipment.

Oh, Lord.

Who is illiterate in the South?

Remember, these plants are opening up in the middle of *nowhere* in these states. The population is decidedly rural and many people in the area drop out at the 6th grade or earlier.

They would have the same difficulty if they set up in downtown Detroit. The local workforce *is* illiterate.

Toyota doesn't hire 'illiterate' workers. They are very demanding and selective. I imagine the same is true for Honda. What a load of Canadian crap.
