I question their "average employee" numbers. The average employee works on holidays and takes no vacation? Not to mention that 2,080 hours @ $9.69/hour = $20,155.20, not $26.036. And since that number is right at the federal poverty level for a family of four ($20,650 in 2007), so I doubt their "average" $9.69 is even accurate.
