It was a trick question. And political. My daughter has a job with a fashion outlet. They generally give her 4 hour shifts, usually 3 or 4 per week. So she got another job with a fast food chain. They give her 3 hour shifts and now some 3.5 hour shifts. So she usually gets 4 or 5 shifts per week, totaling maybe 18 hours per week. They both pay 17.75 per hour, the federal minimum wage. This is off topic for this list, so I won't worry about posting more info on political topics.
