  1. They can't be paid much doing it with 150 yr old methods, they aren't worth much doing it so inefficiently. That's why they are poor, mechanization is required to dramatically increases productivity. 3000 tons per yr for entire nation when one man should do that in a week.

  2.  @Layd36  If not for Westerners those jobs wouldn't exist. How do you define "exploit"? Pretty sure no slaves are used.

  8.  @karhukivi  Gold is often 'vein type'. This graphite extraction is extremely inefficient to the point that poverty is the only option regardless. In a world where everyone was doing it that crudely it might be valuable (a relative term) labor. NOT the world we live in fortunately or we'd all be destitute. NO disrespect for the miners obviously.

  9.  @Ishwolv  Not in the US where most trades can readily command well over minimal 6 figures. Start own itty bitty biz with solid base of skills, work ethics and integrity at say $150/hr.
