In Xhengzhou, Thousands Vie For Foxconn Jobs

hypnosec writes "Foxconn is supposedly looking to enhance its workforce in the Chinese city of Zhengzhou and despite the less-than-satisfactory working conditions in the company, thousands of aspirants are lining up for jobs in its factories. Not caring about the harsh working conditions at Foxconn, thousands of people congregated outside a labor office in Zhengzhou, the largest city of Henan province in North central China, impatiently waiting for a chance to work at Foxconn. Foxconn, which is engaged in assembling iPhones and iPads for Apple, is planning to hire an additional 100000 employees as it is aiming at augmenting its iPhone production."

They aren't "displaced"

[unassimilatible]

That is just silly. The vast majority of these agrarian workers left still-existing farms of their own volition. The farms are still there, and they aren't "displaced" by growing cities. These farms are hundreds if not thousands of miles away from major cities. They just don't want to go back to a lifestyle indistinguishable from the time Samurai walked the earth.
