Apple, America and a Squeezed Middle Class
via nytimes.com
Imagine being one of 230,000 workers in an electronics assembly factory, working six days a week, 12 hours a day. Imagine living in cramped company dormitories and earning less than $17 a day. Imagine the factory having to employ 300 guards to direct foot traffic so workers are not crushed in doorway bottlenecks during shift change.
Now imagine all that being much better than before that factory job.
One wonders how this country can compete in this global economy.
