Chinese Demand for Marginal US Candy Creates 25 New Jobs in US
Desperate to find some good news in China, ABC News ran this clip.
A Washington State candy-maker ships lots of something most Americans don’t particularly care for — Almond Roca.
Great demand for it in China, where it’s packaged as a luxury good under the name “Happy Family” has created the need for twenty five additional workers at the American facility.
They are also now growing fond of American wine, mixed with soda, it is said. That must be worth something.
The report does not tabulate how many jobs in manufacturing in the state were lost to businesses that went to China in the last few years. Although a look through applications for trade assistance adjustment might reveal such a thing.
Wonderful news from our ‘artisan economy’.
