It is in fact so low paid, that people don't rise from poverty but they will fall back as soon as the boom is over. In many countries today, because of globalization, they have jobs, but their wages are so low, that they merely can live from it. Broader wealth in European countries or the US was created, because workers fought for their rights and better working conditions. In the US once, the state fought side by side with the workers for the common good. That was the time, the US build the wealth of its own country. Today it dumps its own wealth. In countries like China, this is prohibited by the state.
