Just a point of reference, an average worker in US produces $62 per hour. That is after capital expense. So that is just the value they create. So even $25 is low balling it for a lot of businesses.
Below is the graph of worker exploitation in US over time. Blue line is the value created by the worker over the years and green is the surplus appropriated from the workers. Orange is the wage earned (I was very optimistic about the wage. 2018 has around $25 of average wage which most people don’t have. This is not minimum wage).
