For a Federal minimum wage employee to make $40k, they have to work 82 hrs/week

I ran these numbers like 5 times and I still can't believe it 84 hours = 40 regular, 44 OT 7.25 × 40= 290 7.25 × 44 × 1.5 = 478 50 290+478.50 = 768.50/week × 52 weeks = 39,962 Just sneak in an extra 5 hours, never get sick, and remember OT only applies at the same job
