Notably, these companies don't pay their workers low wages. In fact, when you add in the value of health and pension benefits -- either directly from these companies to their workers, or in the form of public benefits to which the companies contribute -- most of these foreign workers get a better deal than do Boeing's workers. (The average wage for Boeing production and maintenance workers in South Carolina is $20.59 per hour, or $42,827 a year.) They also get more paid vacation days.
