$35000 a year is how much an hour

$35000 a year is how much an hour. For example, if you make $150 per day, that translates to about $60000 per year. This means it takes at least 8 hours of work for someone making minimum wage in the United States to earn what we could call a livable income (i.e., enough money where they don’t need government assistance and can live off their own paycheck). That number goes down significantly when you factor in things like overtime pay and bonuses; however, this does not account for people who are unemployed or underemployed because there simply aren’t enough jobs available with the current economy’s demand for qualified workers. These numbers also do not take into account any savings.
