The best job in the U.S. Fri Mar 8, 2013 7:41 PM Best job in the country: member of the U.S. House of Representatives. As a House member, you are given a salary of $174,000 per year. Your work schedule is 126 days a year, an average of 2.5 days a week. You are now making almost $14,000 per day at work, and this does not include all the benefits. Additionally, you are given time to leave campus and make calls to raise funds for re-election. We ask, “Why doesn’t anything get accomplished?” The answer is the work schedule. Isn’t it time these representatives are paid for what they accomplish rather than for just showing up? —Robert Rogers, Glendale |
