You can thank the greed of the States and the Federal government for forcing corporations overseas. High taxes and mandatory employee benefits both add to the cost of manufacturing. It is hard to understand why a large manufacturer would want to stay in the US.
I would think if the only cost considered was the labor cost, many more companies would remain in the US. It is the cost of doing business, the idea that an employer should pay a wage, benefits, health care, and double and tripple taxes to the State and Federal government have more of an impact on companies moving overseas than wages.
