Vietnam quietly crossed a line 🇻🇳
Manufacturing labor cost (~2022): $FRAX
- China - ~$8/hr
- Vietnam - ~$2.3/hr
- Malaysia - ~$2.1/hr $ZEN
- Thailand - ~$1.9/hr
- India - ~$1.1/hr
Vietnam now pays more than Malaysia. $ICP
Yet factories keep moving there.
This is no longer about cheap labor.
It’s productivity, scale, and policy execution. 🔥
