Have Any Clothes That Were Made in Cambodia?

Do you have any clothes that were made in Cambodia? I do. Just bought a sweater last week that was made there. Wish I’d read this first:
[T]he average production employee [in Cambodia] generated about $200,000 in annual retail sales and received $750 in income.
Is it any wonder companies are moving production overseas? We need global laws that mandate working conditions such as wages and benefits so no matter where a company locates, they’ll have to pay their workers roughly the same amount. Oh, and fixing our health care system would help. I’m willing to bet workers in Cambodia don’t have health insurance which saves the company a bundle too.
