A view of the Pennsylvania State house from the State Street bridge in Harrisburg, Pennsylvania, January 18, 2012. The Keystone State's capital city faces a $317 million debt that accumulated after a municipal incinerator was repaired and retrofitted in 2003. After Harrisburg's attempt to file bankruptcy was rejected by a judge last fall, Pennsylvania's governor installed a receiver that has sole authority over how tax dollars are spent. Compounding the financial mess, the city council and mayor barely speak, little money is available for routine road and streetlight repairs, and high crime and poor schools have fueled suburban flight.

An apartment complex for labourers who work at a shoe factory is seen in the city of Wenzhou, in Zhejiang province February 18, 2011. Labour shortages in Chinese coastal factories are nothing new. The world's workshop has been churning out the exports again after hitting a lull during the global financial crisis. But workers are becoming more choosy about the kind of jobs they want, eschewing the long hours, tedious work and poor benefits offered in China's many sweatshops. What's more, competition for labour is now coming from new factories in China's rapidly urbanising interior. To match Special Report CHINA-LABOUR/ Picture taken on February 18, 2011.
