Hourly Worker Definition
Workers who are paid on an hourly basis are required to be paid, at the least, minimum wage. Minimum wage rates vary from state to state, and employers are required to pay either the state or federal minimum wage, whichever is higher.
Unlike a salaried employee, who is paid a flat salary regardless of how many hours worked during a workweek, an hourly employee is paid an hourly wage for each hour worked.
Today's #Dailychart looks at how sex with prostitutes is getting cheaper. One reason for the falling price of the hourly rate of a prostitute is the downturn that followed the 2007-08 financial crisis. Technology and large-scale migration also bring prices downhttp://econ.st/XX6cMz
「美國人的原則就是以時間計費。就像你和心理醫生或律師約時間談話一樣，每分鐘都是錢，花一個鐘頭的費用就要談到一個鐘頭的話。在這裡學習也是，付了幾堂課的費用，就要上幾堂課。」她很堅定的說。

hourly rate 也可以是成本計算中某單位平均的每小時分擔的成本
hourly rateis the basic rate of pay per hour. Hourly rates are used largely, though not exclusively, as the means of expressing the rate of pay for manual occupations. Hourly rates contrast with annual salaries, in which the rate of pay is based on the number of weeks worked per year and which are used for most non-manual occupations. A feature of the movement towards single status in industry has been the abandoning of hourly rates and the use of salaries for all categories of employee.

葛拉米獎雖然競選皆為女性
不過男性還有些"終生成就"之殊榮
Girls rule!!! For the first time in the 50-year history of the Grammy Awards, the five contenders for Best New Artist are all women. Tonight,
Taylor Swift, Ledisi, Paramore, Feist and Amy Winehouse will vie for a prize that once was a stronghold of male performers. (Yes, Paramore has male members, but the lead singer of the quartet is a young woman named Hayley Williams.) Which is not to say that men don't still rate. Yesterday, Grammy Lifetime Achievement Awards were given to Burt Bacharach, Doris Day, Earl Scruggs, Cab Calloway, Itzhak Perlman,
Max Roach and The Band.

| “If you look at pretty much any other developed country — Canada, Britain, France, Germany, Singapore, the list goes on — the government does some version of rate setting,” Sarah told The Morning newsletter recently. “The United States doesn’t.” That’s one reason that the cost of health care in the U.S. is higher than in any other country. |
Known as a “kitchen incubator,” La Cocina (la-koh-SEE-nuh) is a shared-use space created two years ago to provide a platform for women entrepreneurs without assets. Offering a low hourly rate for access to 2,200 square feet of restaurant-quality kitchen space, the nonprofit La Cocina also provides training from high-profile mentors and technical assistance on creating business plans and building marketing programs.
“There’s an entrepreneurial gene,” said Valeria Perez Ferreiro, executive director of La Cocina. “And we are finding amazing entrepreneurs who are already cooking or have a product that is so promising that it deserves to be seen in the market and that we think has a chance for success.”
