Cost-effectiveness

2 comments June 6th, 2008

Consider the phrase “where labor costs are less expensive.”

This is one of those fine points, like temperatures are higher or lower, NOT warmer or colder.

It would be OK to say “where labor is less expensive.” But the costs of that labor are “lower.”

The cost is a number. It can be high, low, moderate, outrageous, even prohibitive — but not expensive. The item that you pay for is expensive. The cost is high.

So look for one on eBay.
