$540/40hrs = $13.5/hr. Any number of jobs pay this little.

That's take home pay. With taxes it's much higher.

so based on empirical observations I am sure there are a number of people who are making barely enough to support the child care cost quoted in the post I quoted. maybe I misinterpreted the post I responded to

then you also need to factor in tax rebates for childcare, which won't cover 100% but it will lessen the impact

LOL. I meant that rhetorically, not literally. I am suggesting that it is a bad life choice to work a job and then spend every penny paying someone else to take care of your kids for you.
