evidence: Foxconn’s deal with the state says they will "to the best of their ability" hire 13,000 people by 2022. And President Trump said at the groundbreaking the company would hire that many. The agreement with the state calls for 2,080 jobs by the end of 2019 to get all available tax credits. Foxconn construction and hiring have so far lagged well behind projections, but Moore is wrong to imply the 13,000 jobs are somehow already overdue.
