Most of the grads I interviewed wanted more money per hour (essentially) than my production crew leaders get; the latter of which are line, so earning me money, not staff, which don't.
That sounds as if a car manufacturer were telling you that he can't hire any development engineers as these only cost money while workers on the production line earn money.

Anyway, why should I as the end consumer really care about production processes? I don't have to wonder about how the manufacturer of my washing machine meets his production challenges, so why should I do so with ebooks? As I have bought recent releases of ebooks that didn't even have usable metadata I have the impression that some publishers do not even take basic care about what they sell to the customer.
