I used to be the CPA for several large garment manufacturers in the USA. It absolutely amazed me to walk through a facility with 400+ garment workers all working piece rate.

I never saw such efficiency in human motion. It was beautiful.

We had a major problem in that the workers in the southern manufacturing plants with the same garment and the same equipment, could not make minimum wage while the northern plants were making double minimum wage or more. There was a huge differential in work ethic between the north and the south.

Wow. That was my 1st response, that this was Piecemeal.

No one makes you take and for some work, construction, it can pay incredibly well.

Thnx
