$0.22 x 2080hrs/year = $457.60

Did you ever stop to think, Most work was done on farms and outdoors, therefore you had to make the most of the weather. There was no such thing as a 2080 work year as there is today. In the summer work ran from before sun up until long after sundown. One other thing, $0.22 was a very good wage and more than likely not the norm. There was a lot of piece work and bartering labor for goods.
