KBR: Australia labor costs could 'endanger $330B investment'

摘要

Houston, Texas-based KBR is concerned about the labor market in Australia, The Sydney Morning Herald reported May 7. "We do worry about the labor market in Australia," said CEO William Utt. Rising wages are becoming more of a problem. "We can land expats in Australia for about the cost of what we're hiring directly for construction workers," said Utt. Because of the high cost of labor, KBR has been forced to diversify its business.
