>In Cambodia, they pay $208 per month, which is assuming a 160 hour work month, which I guarantee is the bare minimum which gives them $1.30 in wages per hour.

That means nothing without knowing what other jobs pay and what the overall cost of living is. It honestly feels a little dishonest to convert things to USD without either putting it in perspective to the rest of their costs or adjusting it to a value that reflects the spending power of that amount of money. Does $1.30 buy them one hamburger or would it buy them 10+?
