> it is indicative of exploitation

In rich countries a lot of low paying jobs are performed by foreigners coming from poorer countries. I'm sure almost nobody enjoys any of those jobs but they do them because they need the money and have little choice.

And by the nature of these low paying jobs they only attract people with no other options, foreigners dreaming about a better life, completely unaware of the risks. This opens the door to abuse. I'm certain that plenty of locals (whatever country we're talking about) would do this job if it payed really well.
