Wages in China are very low
compared to the United States.
• The average monthly wage in
manufacturing establishments in urban
areas is about $120.

Wages
• Wages in manufacturing outside of urban
areas and for unskilled labor are even
lower.
• Average hourly labor cost for
manufacturing in urban areas is about $1.
In the U.S., average hourly labor is $30.
