Also, the examples you stated? A manager at a fast food restuarant gets less than what I pay and they work longer hours (my employees are capped at 40 hours weekly). Now I do not use Indians as I do not trust them AND they tend to charge double what the Filipinos charge (and do shittier work).
But basically we are talking about working in Adult full-time or working part-time (or not at all) and I contend there are places in this world, even within the good ol' USA, where you can work full-time in Adult and make way less than six figures.

If you are using Phillipinos who work from their homes, then that's a great rate for them. The thing with foreign workers here is they're displaced from family and familiar culture, so all they do is work and send home money. Add to that they live in usually crappy conditions, have to pay a high fee for a working visa and consistently get harassed by the local police, and they generally are not happy.
Sounds like your deal is better than my deal, hence the happiness factor.
