The Dallas Cowboys Cheerleaders are reportedly receiving a 400% pay raise for the upcoming season, as revealed in their Netflix series "America's Sweethearts."

This "life-changing" increase comes after years of advocacy for higher compensation, so the cheerleaders didn't need to work two jobs.

Veterans are expected to earn around $75 per hour, significantly up from the previous $15 per hour.

$75 is 500% of $15, but the increase ($60) is 400% of $15.

Most likely.

Going from $15 an hour to $75 an hour is not 400%.

The 400% is an average, taking into account that starting compensation will be lower than that for long-time team members.

An article I read earlier this week said that the women were receiving as little as $15,000 per year, because management said there were so many others who would take the job if they didn't like their pay. Considering how much it costs for hair, makeup, fitness, etc (they are required not to gain weight), that is an insult and an exploitation.

Wonder how much Jethro pays all his whores?

America’s sweethearts?

Really? Is that what you call them? You frequent girly dance bars a bit I figure.

And you’re a “gentleman”.

That’s great

[ridesthemiles]

IIRC===500%

I don’t think the others accounted for depreciation and amortization. Maybe even the AMT.

Worth it and more....

[shaggy eel]

,,, projecting image at that level for $15 per unit is fabulous economics. Think what lawyers get an hour for what their clients may get... that’s a gamble. For $75 an hour everyone will be happy, I’m sure.

[lodi90]

That’s goinng to cost A LOT more than $75 an hour.
