Rate Benchmarking

In comparison to the Philippines, India has more expensive labor. Indian call center employees are still paid less than their counterparts in many other nations, though. Also more expensive than in the Philippines are the facilities in India. Because rent and utilities are more expensive in India, this is the case. Also more expensive than in the Philippines are technological costs in India. India's IT infrastructure is more advanced than that of the Philippines, which is the cause of this. The labor costs in the United States are significantly higher than in China. This is due to the higher cost of living in the United States and the higher wages that are paid to call center agents in the United States. 

The facilities costs in the United States are also higher than in China. This is due to the higher cost of rent and utilities in the United States. The technology costs in the United States are also higher than in China.
