PS - According to the CIA World Fact book, for someone in India to earn as
much purchasing power as the average worker in the US, they must earn $2900

That's $1.45 an hour, assuming the Indian workers do 5 (8-hr) days per week
(not more) and get two weeks of unpaid vacation.

You think the Indian government enforces some sort of wage-hour laws?
Our government barely does so.
