RETC will be enormous this year Our 1st acquisition will already be not just profitable but very profitable: With the minimum wage increasing in California to $15 per hour, we decided to move this Company's manufacturing to Salt Lake City, Utah, where the minimum wage is half of that in California primarily because of the much lower costs of living. In Utah, taxes, rent and workers compensation insurance are lower; electricity, property insurance and transportation costs are also less. This move will significantly increase our net income from the E-motion Apparel operation.
