An average worker at the foreign factories that make Nike’s goods earns 1.9 times the local minimum wage, the company says.
None of the workers The Oregonian/OregonLive spoke with in Nike’s second-largest production hub said they earned that much.

@ProPublica Add up the total salary bill for everyone from the CEO to the cleaners, divide by the number of people & you 1.9 times local minimum wage
The salaries of a handful of people are sufficient to skew the average
Exclude the management next time
@ProPublica
Come back when you have a quote about the *median* worker's wages.
“The company says 66% of workers earn a living wage” i.e., a one in three of their employees is paid wages insufficient to meet basic needs. It’s a scandal.
And people will still buy overpriced nike crap, because screw principals and unity for a better free market.
