Re: your tagline "If the lettuce cutters were paid $10 more per hour, the lettuce heads would cost FIVE CENTS more!"

Can you supply some documentation for this? I have not seen this before.

I calculated it myself: if the average number of lettuce heads per member of a team (two cutters and one packer) is 200 per hour, then $10 pay raise will increase the cost by five cents ($10 /200).
