The official minimum wage in China is 31 cents/hour. In the interior,
footwear and textile workers often are paid 17 cents/hour. In the coastal
cities, the "illegal immigrants" (those are the rural peasants who moved to
the cities without permission; the number is well up in the millions) also
make less than 31 cents/hour.

I build die cast dies for both China and Mexico. The full burden rate(labor
+overhead)at the Mexico die caster is $3.48 per hour,the China die caster is
$1.42 U.S. dollarsThe mexcio die caster is screaming over loss of work to
China They are also seeing cast and trim type die casting coming back to
the states due to cost The work they can keep has a lot of vlue added work done
in order to get to the $3.48 figure Ray Mueller
