I work in a lighting showroom. I make $22/hr with no health benefits. I do get 2 weeks PTO, but I am really struggling to make ends meet. I am the only employee besides the owner. Can someone please tell me if I should be making more hourly?

Where are you located?? I know with the ACA, full-time employees (30+ hours) are required to be given optional healthcare benefits, so check in on that. As for the salary, I think you're probably in a good range for showroom. 25 might be where you want to be.

Thanks for the reply. Just seeing a year later! I WAS working over 30+ hrs/week and he was totally illegally doing that. Thankfully I quit and work somewhere else now!
