A large number of migrant workers in china are fed up with their low-paying jobs and are withdrawing the assembly line, thereby creating a significant labor shortage. Some of the factors that caused the sudden shortage of laborers in small- and medium-size factories are forced overtime, wages of $50 a month, rampant workplace, injury, disregard for labor law and frequent nonpayment.
