What if the value of your labor is worth $9.50?
How is the employer compensated for that extra $0.50?
Is there some kind of exception for that?
“What if the value of your labor is worth $9.50?”
Exceptionally good management may be needed to add $.50/hour.
The value of any person’s labor normally varies by employer.
I probably can’t afford to pay you even $5/hour, but I suspect you haven’t worked for less than $20/hour for many years.
