Frederic Scheer employed 70 people making plastic resins from plant starches in suburban Los Angeles until he calculated in 2010 that he could save $600,000 a year by moving Cereplast Inc. to the middle of Indiana.

Health insurance, workers’ compensation and wages were all much cheaper in Indiana, he said.
