Not directly related to product availability, but I wasn't sure where else to post it.

I wonder how many of their products will be made in the states in 5 years if the trend continues. That's a lot of jobs.

Some products made in China have been moved back to the US.

THe jobs are reduced by about 2,000 people due to lack of demand of analog products.

How many people does it take to produce 3.36 billion worth of analog products a year? That was what their annual sales were this past year. I personally would love to have a company that had niche market of 3.36 billion a year.

That's interesting, thanks for mentioning it. I've seen so few people that work in a field related to actual production these days I was beginning to think all we did was 'business'.
