PBS News Weekend

Season 6, Episode 62 of 99

American companies have often moved manufacturing plants overseas in search of cheaper labor or easier access to raw materials. But inside the U.S., American states find themselves competing with each other to host corporate headquarters or factories and the good paying white-collar and blue-collar jobs that come with them. In turn, corporations leverage their position to shop around for the best deals and tax incentives to relocate. NewsHour Weekend Correspondent Christopher Booker reports on this business tug of war between states, and why one Fortune 100 company left one state for another.
