Abstract Labor cost is an important factor to promote industry transfer. When labor costs in different regions are compared, nominal wage should not be the only factor to be compared, but it should be combined with labor productivity. The industry in the east of our country failed to move to the central and the western regions cosmically after more than 30 years' development. One of the reasons for the slow gradient transfer of industry is that the east still has the comparative advantage of labor after a long-term rapid development. In order to promote the harmonious development of the east, the middle and the west, it is necessary to enhance transfer payment, increase the input in human capital and attract private capital to the central and the west to improve labor productivity in the central and western regions and then promote the transer of industry.
