$294.11 if you use the $50,000,000,000 that the article states in the infographic.

Oh you're right. I wonder why the title doesn't say that. That said assuming half the work force doesn't go through wage theft we're looking at ~600 dollars per person. Wow that's a lot. Also why did you just write all those zeroes?

Habit mostly, but also I feel the number written out gives a slightly larger impact than it written as 50 billion.
