Labor costs?
Factories everywhere are high tech.
That means that the number of workers have been reduced to levels most people couldn't believe. The remaining workers have to be skilled.
I saw this happen where I worked (retired now). We went from 650 (1970) hourly workers to 40 and still produce about the same amount of product.
Just by using computers to track the product flow in plant the company cut a whole department of clerks.
You should watch "How do they make that" and see the machines doing the work.
If anyone thinks that China has guys with little hammers banging out stuff for us is way behind in his world view.
