Yes, I also think is intolerable that those people have to do grudge work for such low pay. Let's hope they become unemployed soon.

They're not committing suicide because of the low pay. Nobody is forcing them to take the job so I don't think being paid triple the money would do much to lower the suicide rates. It's the job itself that's making them kill themselves. They can't handle the working conditions or the work itself.

From the wired article:http://www.wired.com/magazine/2011/02/ff_joelinchina/all/1

"Out of a million people, 17 suicides isn’t much—indeed, American college students kill themselves at four times that rate."
