> Many more people work for Apple’s contractors: an additional 700,000 people engineer, build and assemble iPads, iPhones and Apple’s other products.
I wonder, if Apple attempted to work most of those jobs in a western system, how many total jobs would there be? I'd have to think less.
As bad as this may seem, I see this sort of globalization as a good thing, because the total overall number of jobs is probably higher. (A job, meaning a steady paycheck, and not rural poverty.)
In the end, more jobs = fewer serious problems. I'd have to think, though, that you'd need to take care that you don't lose job counts. Western countries probably need to worry about that a bit more. I don't see how it can be done without more education and training.
