China Briefing has a useful table on wage costs across Asia.
According to China Briefing: “China’s workers are now amongst some of the best paid in Asia”, and: “…it signals that an exodus of export driven manufacturing may occur, principally to competing, lower-cost Asian nations for China’s residual export driven manufacturing.” More, here.
Lots of China podcasts on wages and factories are here. Some useful China and global apparel stats are here.

Thanks. That is really interesting. Have you seen data that compares wages for different skill levels across Asian countries? -Vera
