Have to agree. Anyone who has lived in a third world country knows that a formal job is better than a no job, and that many would absolutely love to work for, say, Foxconn for a steady paycheck.
Some of those stories about workers at Foxconn committing suicide also neglect to mention that the factory town has 1M workers who all live and work there, and that the suicide rate is actually lower than that for a city of equivalent size, or that 1M people living together might hurt themselves for any number of reasons (debts, unrequited love, adultery, etc), not just work.
