> global average wage is $2k ... not per month. Per year

How much was it before Globalization ?

I think the point is, who cares? Globalization is trying to reach an equilibrium where our first world workers and those third world workers will earn the same wage. That's a terrifying proposition to anyone in the bottom three quarters of the US economy.
