Plus free medical, mid-day meal, transportation to | and from work, paid vacations, and retirement. The average | worker has the same purchasing power of a worker doing | similar work here. The actual dollar amount is less, but the | everything is a LOT cheaper in China. Any worker that wants | to is free to seek work somewhere else, nobody forces anybody | to work where they don't want to. | I've been there, and I know. | | | Mark Wisner | (A grateful employee of Pearl River Piano) That was my observation as well.
