Statistics show that the cost of raw and auxiliary materials increased by about 30% to 80% compared to the same period this year. Cotton and other main raw materials increased more than doubled.

The labor cost of enterprises has also risen to varying degrees, and recruitment difficulties are troubling enterprises.

According to enterprises in Jiangsu, Zhejiang and other places, factory recruitment is only seven or eight last year, or even less than 50%. Enterprises can only raise staff salaries substantially, and the salary increase in the Yangtze River Delta and Pearl River Delta is generally 20% to 40%.
