The Chinese have industrialized to the extent that their labor force ,which we all know is huge, has through mass media become aware of the disparities in their wages and the top 10% of bosses [ the communist party] which is getting filthy rich. The folks want to work in air-conditioned electronics factories. They aren't satisfied with low wages weaving and sewing hats for export, many of which end up in the USA. They want a decent wage too. The bosses hav moved factories to Vietnam and Cambodia. Next will be Burma. But these countries are waking up as well. The hat makers are having difficulty in Vietnam and Cambodia being able to produce a low cost good quality product. Wage demandsfor better pay are causing pressure there as well. It is surely going to mean increases in the cost of finished products of all types coming into our USA market in the near future, especially for good quality and good looking styles of hats. That's why at the Hat Company we keep our feelers out for good deals on hats whever they come from so we can still offer our great collection at the lowest prices out there.
