I'm looking for data on total labor costs (direct + indirect labor costs) for **specific products**. That is, how much a worker would cost a factory owner for producing, let’s say, a pair of jeans. These data could be from any country and industry you may have come across (garments, foods, electronics, etc. – anything really). Ideally, it’d be very helpful to have copies of factory timesheets; that is the list of steps, or operations, involved in producing let’s say a pair of jeans, whereas each operation is assigned a specific time. Thank you!!
Hi George,
Please find attached a document on pricing in garments and below an older CCC document that may be useful.

For athletic footwear, I have attached a document with financial data on Yue Yuen, the world's largest footwear manufacturer. On page 11 a figure that might be of interest for your work, but note that this data is 10 years old, and labor costs will have increased significantly for its Chinese operations, less so for its Vietnamese and Indonesian facilities.
hope this is helpful and best wishes,
Jeroen
