USA vs China Lifestyle

The federal minimum wage of the United States is $7.50 an hour.  I looked up a bunch of the brands of my clothes and most of them were manufactured in China.  So i researched the wage of the people who make these clothes and I found out that they make $2.74 a day.  If a person were to make this kind of income in our country they would not be able to survive any where especially how many hours they work and how hard they do it.  These poor people, im sure, put far more effort and dedication into their work than half of the well paid citizens today in the USA.  But some say that these sweat shops have given alot of the people who did not have work before a job and some a better lifestyle than how they were living before.  But just because this is true does not mean that people can take advantage and give them pretty much nothing and let them be treated the way they do in these places.  They should at least provide them some type of benefits and a good working environment.  These people work 12 to 13 hour days without any overtime pay.  It may not be our country's primary responsibility but since they give us so much in imports from an ethical standpoint, we should try to improve work conditions and laws for the sweatshops we  profit from.
