I did some manufacturing for work and it involved me going back there 16 years later to negotiate a production contract.
I walk in and all the Asian aunties are staring at me, the place smells like a pineapple bun, everyone gossiping while collecting the little tags
To my knowledge, we can't find talent to sew specific patterns without paying at least $19 - 26/hour to the staff at a manufacturing level locally.

He said he finally started using an accountant and the accountant told him some of these pay cheques basically amount to making $6-7 an hour because he’s working soooo much at such a low wage, your time becomes increasingly less valuable

If you're working for $25/hour as a hourly/salary dood. You don't need to pay for an accountant. My mans would've been taxed the same working 2,000 hours at $50/hour making $100,000 or 3,000 hours at $33.33 blended of OT, Stat, and Reg pay. At $100,000 per hour your real wage for the next $1 would've been taxed at like 32.79% so he'd make a real wage of $16.80 per hour at $25/hr reg. Which imo is not bad compared to $6-7, a 240% increase.
