More per hour.

Sadly a lot of these guys will put up with the crushing hours because they need the overtime money to make ends meet. 95 cents works out to about 115 dollars a month before taxes.

19 bucks an hour for 19 days...

15 of those days are 8 hours of straight time each, about 2300 dollars. There are approximately 90 hours remaining of overtime at at least time and a half, some of which is almost certainly double time, but even if it isn't, is 2500 dollars. Almost 5000 dollars in 3 weeks, verses the 2400 dollars they'd make at the department store for the entire month.
