Well, it's not like we ever actually cared about how much 3rd world country workers received. It's more of an excuse as to why we couldn't compete with countries like China. . . . blame low wages. But eventually, if you look at Japan, S. Korea, etc., their standard of living will rise sharply and they will soon have to outsource to Vietnam, Mexico, Myanmar, India, etc. to stay competitive. It seems to happen to every developed country.
And now our minimum wage is quite low compared to the rest of the developed countries in the world.
I wonder what they think of us? Do they look at us in the same manner we used to look at 3rd world countries?
I know it sounds like a trolling post, but, this is very painful to me. I wish we could do something to change the underclass.
You're talking about way back when the country had a soul. I can't even remember that far back. Our own corporations have been exploiting poor workers in other countries pretty much my entire life.
One of my daughters went on a mission trip to Bangladesh when she was in High School. They had the option to either stay in the hotel or stay with a family that works at the Nike factory in the city. She chose to stay with the family. The house was essentially a big cardboard box with some plywood. The father supported the family on something like $10 per week from Nike but there were no benefits at all.
He actually got hurt on the job, and to Nike's credit they didn't fire him for it. But they did make him pay his own medical bills and of course he didn't get paid when he was off work.
Disgusting what American Corporations do in the world. And our government (Democrat and Republican) enables them all the way.

Lucky are those Bangladeshis who are able to work for an American Corp. They are the kings of the cardboard box home village.
