[quote=Anonymous]For the nanny who thinks that earning less then $25 per hour in DC is slavery, maybe she should take a look at salaries for college educated professionals, and many others in the DC area that are well below this.

$23 per hour for 50 hours a week (which many DC nannies work) plus legally mandated overtime is $65,780.  That is a solid middle class salary. 
$20 per hour for 50 hours a week (which many DC nannies work) plus legally mandated overtime is $57,200 annually.   That is not a lot, but it is more than a lot of people make.

Try looking at what people in the armed services, government employees, health care workers, daycare teachers, and teaching assistants make.  Also look at Uber and DoorDash.

"SLAVERY" is  more like being a Ukranian woman dragged from her house and raped in front of her kids, and forced to cook for the soldiers who raped her.   Slavery is having no right to your own body, and having your kids sold away from you.

"Slavery" is NOT buying a new Corolla and a perfectly nice townhome in the suburbs with husband or wife (or platonic roommate for that matter). [/quote]
