Why 22 what not a nice round number like 25 these people are absurd!!! The government is paying census takers $19.00-$25.00 an hour it is a temporary job but GEEZE you take a months vacation and rack in some cash!!!
Work on any construction project that is state funded in Minneapolis and you will get $55.85 per hour.
That is for a common laborer.
About 20 years ago the rate was around 20 bucks an hour.
