I think.

What's missing is, productive at what? With all the productivity factors making labor unproductive in Mexico, all those companies with massive factories just across the border for the last 20 years are out of business? No they have chosen Mexican labor correctly, if they need that particular type of labor!
If you need grunt labor for hard-to-ship items sold to the US market go to MX... smart labor involving choices go to CT... quickly adapting labor where there are no labor or environmental laws, China!
