Tb,
I agree with you in principle.In a perfect world,no one would get hard work for lousy pay.Yet,in the world that we live in buisinesses & corporations have found a way around this:That is-to seek out individuals who're in generally more desperate circumstances than the local workforce.Hence ,willing to work hard without complaint,for pennies.;typically foreigners.In the u.s. it's mexicans,in the Dr it's haitians,in europe it's arabs and africans,in the gulf states it's asian indians & sri lankans etc...
This actually goes above & beyond menial low paying jobs.For example,although a country like india might indeed be a third world nation,it never-the-less has a population over 1 billion and the number of college educated/skilled indivuduals is larger than the entire u.s. workforce.Not to mention the nations of europe(inidividually).
In the last few decades indian firms & individuals have posed some stiff competition to americans & europeans in the tech fields.I many cases the indians have won the day,as american corporations realize that indian electronics,mechanical & software engineers can do the same work as american professionals,yet are willing to work for 1/4th the pay.So, it's a trend for u.s. companies to contract work/projects out within india,to recuit people from inida or to relocate to india altogether.
Tis the way of the world.
Carl.
