No, it's not justifiable, IMO.
Locally here in Ontario, we employ some workers from Latin America - Mexico, Guatamala, etc. They work in the agricultural industry and get paid $10-12 an hour plus room and board. Those are pretty good wages. They either have about $2000 in disposable income a month or, really, they send most of it back home where it pays for a ton of things.
They do an immense job - because they are fairly compensated. This makes the agricultural industry in these parts very sustainable.
The $5 a day workers were getting in Dubai to build that great new tower is astonishing in a place of immense wealth like Dubai.
