Albert Beard, owner of a nut and bolt plant in Pembroke, says 40 jobs remain unfilled as 400 unemployed men can earn more from social welfare than factory salaries. His plants offer 51.70 to 89.90 per week, while a state welfare payment for a man with a wife and four children is 63.45 weekly. He recently turned down a 1.37 million American order due to not meeting the deadline.
