We're really bad at comprehending scale. Remember the hubbub about 12 Foxconn workers committing suicide in one year? http://www.telegraph.co.uk/finance/china-business/7773011/A-look-inside-the-Foxconn-suicide-factory.html … Foxconn has 920,000 employees. The Foxconn suicide rate (13.85 per 10k) is about 1/10 the rate of the rest of China (127.42 per 10k)

based on the article you linked: 1)300-400K employees at suicide plant not 900K. 2)12 suicides (which was through May) if annualized would be around 1 per 10K workers. 3) China's suicide rate is 22.23 people out of every 100,000 this rate is about 98% lower than u cited

1. The suicide number is for the whole company, not just the one location that the author of the article visited 2. No suicides were reported for the rest of the year, that's the final number 3. You're right that's a typo. 127.42 is the number per year Foxconn "should" have
