  Cost of living where I am is around $38-40 so I’m all out of whack with this, sorry. But on most contracts our first 2hrs of OT would be 1.5x, whereas you’re somehwere around 1.85x? So that’s neat.

    Op worked 2.5 extra hours. That’s $8/hr * 1.5 overtime * 2.5 extra hours.

    Where city I live has a higher col then the surrounding rural areas. Our living wage is $15.34 and poverty wage is $6.35 I don’t have a report for the surrounding areas but my gut says somewhere around $10/$5.

    In the US you have to get paid 1.5x for hours over 40. $30/2.5/1.5 = $8. And thats assuming no paycheck deductions such as tax, healthcare, alimony, etc

      My midlife crisis just got a little worse.

      There are places where it would literally cost me 80% less to live. I’m stuck for work reasons but damn.
