The big shot super wealthy are meeting again, providing the world with the answers to everything. One expert interviewed gave his answer to poverty- jobs. Plenty of poverty stricken people have jobs. It does not help that many corporations scour the world looking for the cheapest labor possible. There is a multitude of jobs that do not pay living wages, and that desperate people take in order to at least eat something. Plenty of jobs that guarantee a life of poverty. Plenty of jobs that expose workers to toxic chemicals, other hazards,loss of limbs, cancer, paralysis, blindness, all kinds of dangerous working conditions. Until there is an international standard regarding work place safety and living wages suitable for the country in which the worker lives, poverty will remain entrenched for the poverty stricken employed.
