LETS SEE. That's 40 hours a week, 50 weeks (if you take 2 weeks off) so
that equals 2000. Standard working year.

When I hear "how much someone makes an hour", sometimes, it's highly
ambiguous. Ironworkers ARE PAID a very high rate per hour. Yet, sometimes,
they are on unemployment for part of the year because of the weather or lack
of work. When they SAY they get $50 per hour, that doesn't mean they get a
W-2 for $100,000 at the end of the year.

So, a person has to take their gross pay for a year, divide it by 2000 (that
is only the ones that can compute 50 X 40 + 2,000) , and that's what they
REALLY make an hour. And that does not account for overtime. Same with
salaried workers, except they usually have a longer work week than 40 hours.
