In China, Human Costs Are Built Into an ipad

"In China, Human Costs Are Built into an ipad" the apple company pays workers to  polish thousands of ipad cases a day. They make low incomes. They work very hard in China to make the money off of the product everyone is buying in America, but they are barely making a living from the paychecks they receive. They make about $22 a day, and in chin or even everywhere $22  is not enough to live anywhere or do anything. In this article they give little anecdotes bout the lives of some of the workers. They describe how one man makes a small income and lives in a small bedroom big enough for just one bed and  desk wit a computer on it, that he play's his favorite game on. It talks about the dangers that most of the workers at this company can go through and the course of a day. This article makes me thankful that we get paid more here in America and have more safety rules to follow to prevent us from dangerous jobs. I feel bad for the people that work at these types of company's because they work very hard and really don't make a lot of money. I can infer that from this article workers really don't have enough education to work at a lot of different places, so they just settle for what they can get at this point. What i would like to know is why the apple company makes so much money but pays their workers so little.I would also like to know why apple is being so cheap.
