Title: Collection of Tobacco in Moldova, Europe Post by: Ryan Martis on October 21, 2009, 11:57:48 PM (http://800013.xyz/files/funzug/imgs/informative/tobacco_moldova_01.jpg)
Moldova, one of the former Soviet republics and Europe's poorest country, has so far resisted pressure to privatise its tobacco industry. These women work 10 hours a day, 6 days a week, and got paid 1000 lei a month (about $100 a month). (10 hours a day)(6 days a week)(4 weeks a month) = 240 hours/month $100 a month/ 240 hours per month = about $0.42 per hour.

Middle aged women that looked much older than their numerical age iat in dirt with tobacco leaves surrounding them. In their left hand they hold what looked look a knitting needle with a heavy string attached. With their right hand they pick up a tobacco leaf and pierce it with the large needle. This mind-numbing action is repeated until the string is covered with tobacco leaves the width of the hut – one strand down and a few more months’ worth of string to go.
