I wonder how many jobs where created in China during the same period Job creation picked up in September but not enough to stop the unemployment rate from rising to 4.7 percent, the highest in just over a year. The new job market snapshot released by the Labor Department on Friday showed that employers boosted payrolls by 110,000, the most in one month since last May. In an encouraging note, the economy actually added 89,000 jobs in August. That marked an improvement from the net loss of 4,000 that the government first estimated.

There are some basic business fundamentals - do the exercise - if cheap labour is a key factor !! Oct. 1, 2007 -- With China almost single handedly responsible for driving down the price of manufactured goods around the globe, it often seems inevitable that any low-end manufacturing can be done cheaper in the middle kingdom. But despite its many market distortions, China still hasn't managed to rewrite some economic fundamentals.

You scratch my back and I'll scratch yours - a noble sentiment - as long as everyone is sailing with the same wind With booming trade between the UK and China , exporting original equipment manufacturers from both regions will need product designers with up-to-date, local experience of these markets.

As with many subjects - your view can depend on which side of the fence you happen to be sitting - of course if your sitting "on top of " a barbed wire fence - there may be a different result It is risky to defend an unpopular cause, such as the recent product scares involving Chinese exporters
