One big problem with your snarky little comment. It ain't true. The workers on Apple's assembly line are being paid three to seven times the Chinese national minimum wage. . . and their standard cost of living is far less than the cost of living in the US. If you were to pay a factory assembly line worker in the US seven times the federal minimum wage they'd be making $52 an hour, a handsome income in relation to the cost of living. Even at the three times minimum, that's around $22 per hour. The same is true in China. They make good wages working on Apple lines.

Whenever a new assembly line for Apple products open, thousands of applicants vie for each job opening because they are very desirable jobs. Sorry, the 80¢ per hour is a myth.
