>*They're not. They're offering them a decent job for a decent wage knowing that these people are totally unskilled.
That was neither a decent job, nor a decent wage. It was just a job and a wage they were forced to do in order to feed themselves, and under very bad conditions.
If a "totally unskilled" jobless person comes to me for money, I can offer him the chance dance, call me "master" and crawl at my feet and then give him $10.
Something which he might be forced to accept (hunger trumps pride).
That doesn't make my offer "decent" -- even if nobody else was willing to give him $10 anyway.
