According to research undertaken by The Economist, companies who for the past twenty years closed factories in Canada and the United States and opened factories in China because of lower labour costs are now starting to reverse this trend by returning to North America. 

The January 19, 2013 issue of The Economist has a 9 minute audio interview on this topic and explains the reasons why this trend is happening.
