is shifting its residential carpet manufacturing operations in Santa Fe Springs to northwest Georgia in a move that will eliminate 291 local jobs.Shaw said it already is scaling back work at the two facilities and will cease operations in the first quarter of 2024.
Shaw, which has at least 50 distribution centers throughout the U.S., didn’t cite wages as a factor in the move.A forklift operator at the company’s Santa Fe Springs facility averages $20.20 hourly, for example, while a worker doing the same job in Dalton earns an average hourly wage of $15.62. And Georgia’s minimum wage of $7.25 an hour is less than half the Golden State’s base wage of $15.50, which will rise to $16 an hour on Jan. 1.
