Coming from construction related sector. It’s true, working conditions and the amount of labor work they did, doesn’t seem to be proportionate. While we are complaining about qualities of houses and furniture for the dollar we paid, how much of those actually contribute to the ground workers? (So where does majority of the money being pocketed to? Blame those who ripped you off, not those who cater your essential needs.)
TBH, first-world economy basically “squandered” the least developed, else you could ask any local here in SG, are they willing to get paid $22 per hour for such job? I’m guessing the answer is as clear as a sunny day.
