#2What, 13,000 factory workers? Foxconn isn't going to use mostly robots? Gou has said he wants to get rid of the "animals" in his plants.

3,000 workers according to Foxconn. The trump administration has said it could create up to 13,000 over the coming years, so who knows what that really means...

I heard on the news that 10,000 construction jobs would be created, so perhaps both are right - 10,000 temporary construction jobs, and 3,000 permanent/plant jobs.

#5Are the majority of these 13,000 jobs likely to be minimum wage?

You mean like all the jobs the Keystone Pipeline was going to create that looks closer to less than 100 in the long term? http://money.cnn.com/2017/03/24/investing/keystone-pipeline-...

Walmart and Amazon pay well above the minimum wage. It might be because they are so altruistic but I suspect they can't find labor worth keeping at that price. I imagine the same will be true for foxconn.

#10I find it hard to believe that they won't automate it to the max. They've started to do it in china, why wouldn't they do it here where labor is more expensive and the factory is brand new. Foxconn has been manufacturing for a long time and they are looking to reduce costs not increase them by building in the US. Automation is the best way. I bet the jobs are not long term.
Some jobs are better than none but don't pat your back with congratulations.
