haha,hope everyone could come to have a look at this post.perhaps you could find something .A recent study by the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics found that in 2004 (the most recently available statistics) Chinese manufacturing companies compensated their employees at three percent of the average American company—$0.67 per hour in china compared to $22.87 in the US. With many welding [I]function[/I]s easily moved to overseas production centers, this disparity should give pause to both employers, who will need to compete with companies that do take advantage of cheap foreign labor, and welders, who could lose their jobs as a result. There are several measures that can be taken to even the playing field: pressuring the Chinese government to stop artificially pegging its currency to the U.S. dollar; imposing tariffs on imports from low wage countries; offering American companies tax breaks/financial incentives; and more. However, all of these efforts combined will only reduce the wage disparities by small margins. A column by Bill Fink in the San Francisco Chronicle argues that outsourcing unskilled “bolt-tightening” jobs to countries with lower wages has been occurring since the beginning of the industrial revolution and is in fact good for America. Rather than lamenting the loss of unskilled jobs, Fink argues that we need to embrace it as an “opportunity to create even more jobs, even more business—as long as they’re willing to innovate.” Cheap labor is the reality of a global economy, but it doesn’t mean the end of American manufacturing—or at least it doesn’t have to. The question, then, is not how to bring foreign wages in line with American wages, but how to keep American manufacturing strong despite lower foreign wages. What do you think? What can be done to keep American manufacturing strong despite stiff price competition? What are the strengths and value propositions that domestic manufacturing has to offer that cannot be co-opted by overseas competitors?http://www.millerwelds.com/results/blog/chinese-labor-rates/
