toilets. In the real world, these jobs would be outsourced to $8 an
hour, no-benefit wage earners, but on Planet Big Five, these jobs get
the same wages as any auto line-worker: an average $26 an hour ($60,000
a year) plus benefits that bring the company's total cost per worker to
a staggering $65 an hour. "
