In today's video, I will ask people around Cincinnati, Ohio what they do for a living and how much they make each year. Let's go!

Hi, what's your name? My name is Austin. Hi Austin, what do you do for a living? I work downtown at Divisions Maintenance Group and I manage a book of business for various different clients and I help them with their facility maintenance. When Americans ask what do you do for a living, they want to find out your job and what you do for work. What's your favorite part about your job? Probably my favorite part is just seeing my clients' reaction when I solve a problem for them. And then what kind of projects do you work on? Well right now, I won't say the name, but I work for a donut company and I help them out with making sure their donut line's running. How many hours do you work each week? I'm pushing like 70 hours per week right now, a lot of after hours. Sounds like you work a lot. And then how much do you earn each year?

Right now, I'm tracking towards 115. Hi, what's your name? Mitch Kaiser. Hi Mitch, what do you do for a living? I work for Pro Football Focus. I'm a college football analyst for PFF here in

Cincinnati. What's your favorite part about your job? Getting to watch every college football game and then write about it later on. I write articles covering college football. And what's your favorite article you've written? I wrote an article last fall about why Michael Pennix should have won the Heisman. I was pretty happy about it, and then he played really well, so that's probably my favorite article. How many hours a week do you work? 40, sometimes more in the season.

Summertime, you get probably less than 40 because it's off-season, and then when fall rolls around, probably like 60 hours some weeks. In the U.S., a standard work week is 40 hours, usually eight hours a day, five days a week. If you work more than 40 hours, that's overtime, and you get paid extra. For example, if you make $10 an hour, overtime is time and a half, so for every hour worked over 40, you'd make $15. How much do you earn each year? Not enough. Not enough, I'm gonna say that. What's the minimum you could earn if you just started out? Probably like 30k would be the minimum, like the lowest. I make a little more than that, but not great, you know. Hi, what's your name?

Hi, my name's Katie. Hi Katie, what do you do for a living? I am a server. And what's your favorite part about your job? I meet so many cool people, especially being downtown. I feel like it's such a wide variety of people that I get, and it's just really cool to meet so many different kinds of people. What do you do every day for your job?

And then what's your least favorite part about your job? Sometimes it gets really overwhelming. I love to multitask, but sometimes it's like I'm not an octopus. It's hard to do 20 million things at once, but that's not always all the time. That's just really busy days. It can be overwhelming for sure. How many hours each week do you work? Right now I'm doing about 40. During the school year, I do like 25-30, so a few days a week. Okay, so you're a student as well?

Yeah. What do you study? Speech Pathology. I just graduated, yeah. Oh, congrats! And then how much do you earn each year?

If you work full-time, that means you work around 30 to 40 hours a week, and you often get benefits like health insurance and paid time off.
