Answer to Question 2

Location decision makers consider a number of factors in determining the labor climate of an area, region or country. Given the typically labor-intensive nature of many logistics/supply chain operations, the cost and availability of labor are major issues of concern. Other factors to be considered include the workforce's degree of unionization, skill level, work ethic, productivity, and the enthusiasm of local public officials.
A particular region's or area's quality of life is difficult to quantify, but it does affect the well-being of employees and the quality of work they are expected to perform. The quality-of-life factor is more important to companies that must attract and retain a mobile professional and technical workforce capable of moving to any location. Quality of life variables include: climate, housing costs, health care and environment, crime, passenger transportation, education, recreation, the arts, and economic opportunities.
