Jabil builds HQ in Florida & adds 858 jobs

Only fools might see a connection between a $34.4-million economic incentives scheme and the newly promised jobs. The EMS-provider is said to build office space, as well as manufacturing and R&D facilities. Total costs of the investment and construction is said to reach $54-million, reports TampaBay. As evertiq reported earlier, the local government was making Jabil an incentives offer, although never confirming the name of the company. It seems now that the EMS-provider only received the money AFTER adding workers at an average annual salary of $42,685. Most new jobs will be created in Jabil's defence & aerospace electronics business, which is continuously growing. The rest will go into corporate administration.
