[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][b]According to the census, median per capita income in DC is approx $42k (-->$807/week --> $15-20/hr for $40-50 hrs per week with OT).[/b] Is how half the city lives really so unimaginable?[/quote] Yes! $800/wk is a living, reasonable wage for lots of professions. At 40 hours a week that's $20/hr. At 50 hours a week that's 40 hours at $14.50 and 10 hours at 21.75. Both are reasonable. But for an employer who needs a 50 hour work commitment, an employee who commands $20/hr will cost $1,100/wk or $57,200. So the number of hours are extremely important when discussing hourly rate. And that's without even getting into the whole "averages" issue (where an $800/week position for 50 hours "averages"a $16/hr rate.)[/quote]
