Outsourcing by the Koreans to Montgomery has all kinds of benefits in addition to the jobs. Heck, before the Hyundai plant opened we had to go to Atlanta to get a Korean meal (spent two years in Seoul while on active duty and have an adopted Korean daughter). Now we have our choice of at least a half dozen in town and several Korean markets as well.

And if anyone drives the Atlanta to Montgomery corridor on I-85 it is easy to see that the actual Hyundai and Kia plants are just the tip of the iceberg. The tier 2 and tier 3 suppliers are multiplying like rabbits. More than once I have wondered "why in the world are they putting an off-ramp HERE?" A few months after it is complete the reason becomes quite clear: more suppliers building plants and needing access to the interstate.

GF, I am not so sure it would take the time you say to get back to full employment. What it will take is for the unions to revert to some sense of sanity in their expectations and create on the part of potential new businesses the desire to locate there rather than avoiding there because it makes no business sense to do so
