And the strange thing is, that they may have kept the majority of their manufacturing but alot of stuff is cheaper there when compared to the UK. ~http://www.numbeo.com/cost-of-living/compare_countries_result.jsp?country1=Germany&country2=United+Kingdom But yeah i'm not sure if getting rid of a minimum wage can be done now if most decent jobs are gone here now |
Which is my point. Also, that the shitty paying low skill jobs support well paying jobs.
For every factory worker there are tons of support workers who are needed as well.
It's easier to keep your jobs in Germany, when the janitorial staff, and people who do things like label crates aren't forced to be paid way more wages then it takes to pay someone in china to do the skilled work.
