I wonder how many thousands of Chinese people they are helping at $1.60 per hour.

The left sees slavery around every corner yet do not see the irony as they continue their addiction to Apple products made by slave labor working 18 grueling hours a day sitting in factories with suicide nets around it.

That was the hourly pay on regular assembly lines in 2010. Apple lines were two to three times more than that then. . . and they are much more than that now. It was the reason why when ever jobs were opened on assembly lines working on Apple products workers by the thousands would queue for those jobs. Apple specified those higher wages in their contracts. . . as well as working conditions. You also need to understand that the Chinese minimum wage for factory workers at that time was 78¢ an hour. . . and was considered a good wage. Standards and costs of living in different parts of the world are NOT the same or the equivalent as they are in the US. . . and a small pay may be the equivalent due to costs being far lower.
