[DeTomaso] (NPC) Now, how many of you have import marque cars sitting in...

My son is starting at OSU this fall in engineering.  I went to listen  to 
the Dean of ME give a talk.  He said that Ford,  GM, Chrysler, and many other 
American manufacturers were all were  hiring this past spring.  It's 
economics, they are letting the high value  $$, (experienced) engineers go and 
hiring recent grads to cut  costs.  Hang on, it seems we're about to get 
another standard of living  adjustment.  I've met many small business people 
recently, who are  angry, and think somebody should go to jail.  The past boom 
and now the  bust is jacking with their business, and their ability to remain  
viable.  Adding to the mix is the Governments willingness to meddle,  and 
bail out some businesses and not others.

Them's  salary people. I would guess that they are making $80K - $100K per
year +  overtime + benefits. When I worked for John Deere I wondered how 
they
could  make a profit. Their ratio of salary employees to hourly employees 
was
1.8  : 2.

How about the small number of people on the  product development teams who
create the cars, how much an hour should they  make?
