Basra, in today's China, labourers don't come as cheap as they once did. According to statistical data, on average, a Chinese factory worker makes a little over $300 a month. Now compare that with the $45 a month the half starving Ethiopians are making, and you will instantly appreciate the sheer ingenuity of this company in taking the decision to move its shoe factory to Ethiopia where thousands of workers are to be had at unbeatable, rock bottom wages.Far
Granted, $ 45 will not be the riches to the Xabaashis-- but it is better than nothing. Right>? While the Chinese-- might be getting 100$ per month. So-- suddenly the 45 doesn't seem small deal anymore right? Suddenly, the companies can save a lot. But, still --not smart. For every Chinese-- the 100 they earn per month, they could spend 40 shopping and living life. Remember, this is a third world country standard of money.
