    You’re neglecting the profit sharing. That has been between $9-15k over the last couple years. They also get a 401k match of like 6%. So that brings their average comp to about $35 per hour. They also frequently get overtime.

    For perspective, $28 per hour with no overtime puts them in the 58th percentile and adding in profit sharing places them in the 66th percentile for US workers. So making more than 2/3 of the working population is in fact not “low as fuck”

      Man, I don’t think you’re the type of person to see eye to eye with a workers right type asshole like me, but if $72,000 a year to you is an acceptable wage in this particular day and age, with inflation and housing prices going the way they’re going, then we don’t have much to say to one another. They should always fight for higher wage and I will support them all the way, educated work or not.
