TIL that a secretary from a foreign country that I am getting dual citizenship with makes $1.50 an hour. I have been thinking of hiring one at $3.00 an hour or about $25 a day to do a lot of my busy work at my job that would allow me to get a second job to supplement my income.
So on the one hand, I would be paying double what the worker would otherwise be making. However, it is a fraction of what one would pay an American.
Would this be a good thing, as I would literally double someone’s income my poor home country or is it exploitative because as someone working in a high wage country it is 1/5th the value of minimum wage here?
