So we live in one of the shittiest economies, yet the manufacturing plants are all running 10-12 hour shifts 6-7 days a week. Two places I've worked at are like this, and others I've noticed are often open on the weekends as well.
What's going on?

It's cheaper to pay the people they got more then find new workers. Mistakes really cost you in manufacturing.
I am involved in farming and we love if our normal workers will do Saturday. There is hourly minimum wage help available but the quality of work sucks. We end up redoing stuff they did. I would much rather pay time and a half of the regular workers pay to get it done right. I used to do manufacturing it was worse. We would hire staff and output would go down for a while.
