Labor costs in advanced economies are undoubtedly much higher than in emerging economies.While the average manufacturing wage in China is about$10,000 a year,the average wage in the U.S.is$46,000,more than four times higher.This large cost differential has historically accelerated the trend of offshoring.But local manufacturing has non-monetary advantages that should also be considered,such as bringing operations closer to corporate management,R&D teams and customers.Local manufacturing also operates within domestic regulatory regimes that local businesses are more familiar with and are generally more stable than international agreements.

发达经济体的劳动力成本无疑远高于新兴经济体。虽然中国制造业的平均工资为每年约合10000美元，但美国的平均工资为46000美元，高出四倍多。这种巨大的成本差异在历史上加速了离岸外包的趋势。但本土制造具有非货币优势，也应予以考虑，例如使运营更接近企业管理层、研发团队和客户。本土制造也在国内监管制度内运作，当地企业更熟悉这些制度，而且通常比国际协议更稳定。
