TranscriptA tweet saying "100k a year to take someone's order at Taco Bell . Totally makes sense.". It has a reply saying "Where the hell did you get that number? If someone's working enough hours to make that on $15 an hour, they deserve it. $15 an hour, a person working 40 a week makes $31,200 a year." the reply has 2 likes.

The real ratio is 2087.04h/year if you're paid for 40h, 1956.6h/y if you're paid 37.5h (40h - 30min breaks), that averages things out for the number of work days that can vary year to year.
