>Labor costs even more in Australia

This is really surprising to hear. Are you sure about that?

Australia's minimum wage is significantly higher than in the US. An adult working as a burger flipper at McDonalds can expect a minimum of $27.81 / hour.

That's ~$19.60 USD. That's not out of line for a HCOL area in the US.

yup. not just the minimum - skilled labor costs are very high too.
