Six cents an hour

Article Abstract:

Many products sold in the US are made by children working as slave laborers in Pakistan. Children are bought from their parents and work a minimum of 10 hours a day stitching soccer balls and other menial work, which is often hazardous. Children can only leave if they can pay the fee paid to their parents.
