A remote town's economy is entirely dependent on a single, outdated factory. The factory pays low wages, but there are no other local job opportunities, and residents lack the resources to move or retrain. When the factory attempts to lower wages further, workers protest, forcing wages back to the previous low level. When a temporary government subsidy allows the factory to slightly increase wages, it soon cuts worker hours to reduce costs, returning total worker income to its original low level.
