According to a report by Business Insider, on Tuesday, Amazon announced its plan to raise the company's minimum wage to 15 dollars, over twice the federally mandated minimum wage of 7 dollars and 25 cents.
据“Business Insider”报道,周二,亚马逊宣布计划将公司的最低工资提高到15美元,是联邦政府规定的7美元25美分最低工资的两倍多。
In response to the news, Business Insider calculated the annual earnings of the world's richest man, Amazon CEO Jeff Bezos.
针对这一新闻,“Business Insider”算了算世界首富、亚马逊CEO杰夫·贝佐斯的年收入。
In the big picture, Bezos pulls in a staggering 78.5 billion dollars annually, which is a hard number to comprehend for the multitude of people that earn drastically less than that in an entire lifetime.
总的来说,贝佐斯每年进账高达785亿美元,对那些一辈子挣的钱都不及其万分之一的人来说,这简直就是个天文数字。
In order to make as much money as the estimated 8,961,187 dollars Bezos 'earns' in a single hour, a typical Amazon worker would have to work 24 hours a day for about 68 years, or about 597,412 hours.
为了挣到贝佐斯一小时内“挣到的”8961187美元,一个典型的亚马逊工人必须每天工作24小时,持续大约68年,或者大约597,412小时。
