40% of his pay. They don't pay workers the full value of their labor... that would be ridiculous! Communism, even!

There's another 30% that goes to non-cannibalistic regular pedophiles.

It varies by industry, but generally you are correct.

Because it said pay and not value?

My calculations when i was working in a factory came out to about a 97.65% loss on my labor. Every piece i made was sold for $75, took me about a minute to make, and included about 7 other people to sell (oven, paint, quality inspection, forklift to trailer, forklift off trailer, stocker, cashier), 3 more if you include the parts before me (material procurement, forklift to trailer, and the same guy as before to take it off the trailer)

I made easily 90 parts an hour, and was paid $25 an hour regardless of output. I paid 15% on taxes (fed, state, local) because im married and my wife cant work. The quarterly pizza party or $100 bonus was absolutely not worth the cost of my labor.

I used to work nearly 100 hours a week in my early 20s. It was going to kill me for sure, but 50-60 hours a week isn't uncommon sadly

I mean technically, if you commute 90 minutes in a direction per day, along with a five-day 40-hour week, you spend 55 hours on work a week

And while 90 minutes may be far fetched in most parts of europe hopefully, I kind of suspect it isn't in the land of the free

America. It fucking sucks here

Um, this is fairly normal in the US.

Not saying it's right or good, but, yes.

You are assuming a 5 day work week apparently...

i knew someone in CC that did 12hr/day for 5-6days a long time ago. not surprised he burned out of his major, and switched to a more "chill major", because your own job overtook your time from studying. never try to do full time work, while full time student, you just end doing really bad on most of your classes. the rent at the time was pretty reasonable for and lucky he even found one at a HCOL like under 1000/mon rent at the time. he was trying to save for an expensive grad school in the future, but had a "eiphany' and 180 his career choices, to a 'Easier" but questionable job market job(degree)

That's the construction life baby~ 💅

'Murica!

Not all jobs, but yeah they exist. Working on films/TV production is often 60+ hr work weeks.

Because it's a single-panel cartoon in which they need to convey an entire concept with only one picture and a few words. TL;DR Cartoons aren't real.

just came home to sit down tired?
